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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Zdaj spoznavam, da Gospod brani maziljenca svojega, usliši ga z nebes svetosti svoje; po največji kreposti, blaginji desnice svoje.

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

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

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

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

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

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