Psalms 20

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

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

2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

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

3 Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; (Selah)

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

4 Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

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

5 We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

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

6 Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength 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 make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

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

8 They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.

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

9 Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.

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