Psalms 20

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you.

Til Sangmesteren. En Salme af David.

2 Send you help from the sanctuary, and aid you out of Sion.

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

3 Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. (Pause)

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

4 Grant you according to your heart, and fulfill all your desire.

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

5 We will exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all your petitions.

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

6 Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

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

7 Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in 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 overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been 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 whatever day we call upon you.

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!
