Psalms 20

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob;

Gospod te sliši na dan stiske, ime Jakobovega Boga te brani,

2 May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion;

pošlje ti pomoč iz svetišča in te okrepi s Siona,

3 May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah)

spominja se vseh tvojih daritev in sprejema tvojo žgalno daritev. (Sela)

4 May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

Usliši te glede na tvoje lastno srce in izpolni vso tvojo namero.

5 We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

Veselili se bomo v tvoji rešitvi duše in svoje prapore bomo postavili v imenu svojega Boga. Gospod izpolnjuje vse tvoje prošnje.

6 Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

Sedaj vem, da Gospod rešuje svojega maziljenca; iz svojih svetih nebes ga bo uslišal z rešujočo močjo svoje desnice.

7 Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

Nekateri zaupajo v bojne vozove, nekateri pa v konje, toda mi se bomo spominjali imena Gospoda, svojega Boga.

8 They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

Oni so ponižani in padli, toda mi vstanemo in stojimo pokončno.

9 Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.

Reši, Gospod. Naj nas sliši kralj, ko kličemo.
