Psalms 20

1 Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high,

Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Usliši te naj Gospod ob času stiske; na višavo naj te postavi ime Boga Jakobovega.

2 send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion,

Pošlje naj ti pomoč iz svetišča, in sè Sijona naj te podpira.

3 remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice (Selah)

Dúha naj vse dari tvoje, in upepeli naj žgalno daritev tvojo.

4 grant thee thy heart's desire, and fulfill all thy counsel.

Dá ti naj po srci tvojem, in izpolni naj vsak sklep tvoj.

5 We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. Jehovah fulfill all thy petitions.

Prepevajmo o blaginji tvoji; in v imenu Boga našega nosimo zastave; izpolni naj Gospod vse prošnje tvoje.

6 Now I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

Zdaj spoznavam, da Gospod brani maziljenca svojega, usliši ga z nebes svetosti svoje; po največji kreposti, blaginji desnice svoje.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

Ti vóz, in oni kónj, mi pa se spominjamo imena Gospoda, Boga našega.

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen, and stand upright.

Oni se pripogibajo in padajo; mi pa vstajamo in stojimo.

9 Save, Jehovah! Let the King answer us when we call.

Gospod, reši! kralj sam naj usliši nas ob času, ko ga bodemo klicali.
