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.

Til Sangmesteren. En Salme af David.

2 May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

Paa Trængselens Dag bønhøre HERREN dig, værne dig Jakobs Guds Navn!

3 May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

Han sende dig Hjælp fra Helligdommen, fra Zion styrke han dig;

4 May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

han komme alle dine Afgrødeofre i Hu og tage dit Brændoffer gyldigt! (Sela)

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.

Han give dig efter dit Hjertes Attraa, han fuldbyrde alt dit Raad,

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.

at vi maa juble over din Frelse, løfte Banner i vor Guds Navn! HERREN opfylde alle dine Bønner!

7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Nu ved jeg, at HERREN frelser sin Salvede og svarer ham fra sin hellige Himmel med sin højres frelsende Vælde.

8 They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

Nogle stoler paa Heste, andre paa Vogne, vi sejrer ved HERREN vor Guds Navn.

9 O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.

De synker i Knæ og falder, vi rejser os og kommer atter paa Fode. HERRE, frels dog Kongen og svar os, den Dag vi kalder!
