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.

Til Sangmesteren. En Salme af David.

2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

Paa Trængselens Dag bønhøre HERREN dig, værne dig Jakobs Guds Navn!

3 May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

Han sende dig Hjælp fra Helligdommen, fra Zion styrke han dig;

4 May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

han komme alle dine Afgrødeofre i Hu og tage dit Brændoffer gyldigt! (Sela)

5 We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

Han give dig efter dit Hjertes Attraa, han fuldbyrde alt dit Raad,

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.

at vi maa juble over din Frelse, løfte Banner i vor Guds Navn! HERREN opfylde alle dine Bønner!

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

Nu ved jeg, at HERREN frelser sin Salvede og svarer ham fra sin hellige Himmel med sin højres frelsende Vælde.

8 They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

Nogle stoler paa Heste, andre paa Vogne, vi sejrer ved HERREN vor Guds Navn.

9 O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.

De synker i Knæ og falder, vi rejser os og kommer atter paa Fode. HERRE, frels dog Kongen og svar os, den Dag vi kalder!
