< Psalms 20 >
1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.
【求賜君王勝利】 達味詩歌,交與樂官。 願上主在憂患之日,俯允你,願雅各伯的天主,保祐你!
2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.
願祂從聖所救護你,願祂由熙雍扶助你!
3 May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.
願祂追念你的一切祭獻,願祂悅納你的全燔祭獻!
4 May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.
願祂滿全你心中的志願,願祂玉成你的一切籌算!
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.
我們要因你的勝利歡舞,奉我們天主的名豎立旗鼓:我的一切請求,願上主成就!
6 The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.
我深信上主必賞祂的受傅者獲勝,以無敵右手救拯,從神聖的高天俯聽。
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.
他們或仗恃戰車,他們或仗恃戢馬;我們只以上主,我們天主的名自誇。
8 They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.
他們必將倒地喪命。我們卻將挺身立定。
9 O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
上主,求你賜給君王獲勝,我們求您時,請您俯允我們。
