Psalms 20

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

Gospod te sliši na dan stiske, ime Jakobovega Boga te brani,

2 May the Lord send you help from the sanctuary, and may he support you from Zion.

pošlje ti pomoč iz svetišča in te okrepi s Siona,

3 May the Lord remember all your offerings, and accept all your burnt sacrifices. (Selah)

spominja se vseh tvojih daritev in sprejema tvojo žgalno daritev. (Sela)

4 May the Lord give you whatever you really want; may he make all your plans successful.

Usliši te glede na tvoje lastno srce in izpolni vso tvojo namero.

5 May we shout for joy over your victory, and set up banners in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your requests.

Veselili se bomo v tvoji rešitvi duše in svoje prapore bomo postavili v imenu svojega Boga. Gospod izpolnjuje vse tvoje prošnje.

6 Now I know that the Lord saves the one he has anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, and save his anointed by his powerful right hand.

Sedaj vem, da Gospod rešuje svojega maziljenca; iz svojih svetih nebes ga bo uslišal z rešujočo močjo svoje desnice.

7 Some trust in chariots and some in war horses, but we trust in who the Lord our God is.

Nekateri zaupajo v bojne vozove, nekateri pa v konje, toda mi se bomo spominjali imena Gospoda, svojega Boga.

8 They collapse and fall down, but we rise and stand up.

Oni so ponižani in padli, toda mi vstanemo in stojimo pokončno.

9 May the Lord save the king! Please answer us when we call for help!

Reši, Gospod. Naj nas sliši kralj, ko kličemo.
