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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

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

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

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

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

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