Psalms 20

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you.

Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

2 Send you help from the sanctuary, and aid you out of Sion.

Herren bønhøre dig paa Nødens Dag! Jakobs Guds Navn ophøje dig!

3 Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. (Pause)

Han sende dig Hjælp fra Helligdommen og understøtte dig fra Zion!

4 Grant you according to your heart, and fulfil all your desire.

Han ihukomme alle dine Madofre, og dit Brændoffer finde han fedt! (Sela)

5 We will exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all your petitions.

Han give dig efter dit Hjerte og opfylde alle dine Anslag!

6 Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

Saa ville vi synge om din Frelse og i vor Guds Navn oprejse Banner; Herren opfylde alle dine Begæringer!

7 Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

Nu ved jeg, at Herren frelser sin Salvede, han vil bønhøre ham fra sin hellige Himmel; ved hans frelsende højre Haands vældige Gerninger.

8 They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

Disse forlade sig paa Vogne og disse paa Heste; men vi ville prise Herren vor Guds Navn.

9 O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon you.

De have maattet bøje sig og ere faldne; men vi staa og holde os oprejste. Frels, Herre! Kongen bønhøre os den Dag, vi raabe!
