Psalms 20

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

Til sangmesteren; en salme av David. Herren bønnhøre dig på nødens dag, Jakobs Guds navn berge dig!

2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and watch over you from Zion.

Han sende dig hjelp fra helligdommen og støtte dig fra Sion!

3 May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.

Han komme alle dine matoffer i hu og finne ditt brennoffer godt! (Sela)

4 May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.

Han gi dig efter ditt hjerte og fullbyrde alt ditt råd!

5 We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.

Måtte vi kunne juble over din frelse og løfte seiersmerket i vår Guds navn! Herren opfylle alle dine bønner!

6 May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

Nu vet jeg at Herren frelser sin salvede; han svarer ham fra sin hellige himmel med frelsende storverk av sin høire hånd.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

Hine priser vogner, hine hester, men vi priser Herrens, vår Guds navn.

8 They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

De synker og faller, men vi står og holder oss oppe.

9 O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.

Herre, frels! Kongen bønnhøre oss på den dag vi roper!
