< Psalms 20 >
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
【求賜君王勝利】 達味詩歌,交與樂官。 願上主在憂患之日,俯允你,願雅各伯的天主,保祐你!
2 May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.
願祂從聖所救護你,願祂由熙雍扶助你!
3 May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.
願祂追念你的一切祭獻,願祂悅納你的全燔祭獻!
4 May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
願祂滿全你心中的志願,願祂玉成你的一切籌算!
5 May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.
我們要因你的勝利歡舞,奉我們天主的名豎立旗鼓:我的一切請求,願上主成就!
6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.
我深信上主必賞祂的受傅者獲勝,以無敵右手救拯,從神聖的高天俯聽。
7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
他們或仗恃戰車,他們或仗恃戢馬;我們只以上主,我們天主的名自誇。
8 They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
他們必將倒地喪命。我們卻將挺身立定。
9 O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.
上主,求你賜給君王獲勝,我們求您時,請您俯允我們。
