< Psalms 20 >
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The Lord heare thee in the day of trouble: the name of ye God of Iaakob defend 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 Send thee helpe from the Sanctuarie, and strengthen thee out of Zion.
願祂從聖所救護你,願祂由熙雍扶助你!
3 Let him remember all thine offerings, and turne thy burnt offerings into asshes. (Selah)
願祂追念你的一切祭獻,願祂悅納你的全燔祭獻!
4 And graunt thee according to thine heart, and fulfill all thy purpose:
願祂滿全你心中的志願,願祂玉成你的一切籌算!
5 That we may reioyce in thy saluation, and set vp the banner in the Name of our God, when the Lord shall performe all thy petitions.
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 Now know I that the Lord will helpe his anointed, and will heare him from his Sanctuarie, by the mightie helpe of his right hand.
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 remember the Name of ye 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 brought downe and fallen, but we are risen, and stand vpright.
他們必將倒地喪命。我們卻將挺身立定。
9 Saue Lord: let the King heare vs in the day that we call.
上主,求你賜給君王獲勝,我們求您時,請您俯允我們。
