< Psalms 20 >
1 The LORD hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you;
【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 you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;
願祂從聖所救護你,願祂由熙雍扶助你!
3 Remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice; (Selah)
願祂追念你的一切祭獻,願祂悅納你的全燔祭獻!
4 Grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your counsel.
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 your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all your 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 saves his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength 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 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 brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
他們必將倒地喪命。我們卻將挺身立定。
9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
上主,求你賜給君王獲勝,我們求您時,請您俯允我們。
