Psalms 20

1 “To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” May the Lord answer thee on the day of distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Uslišio te Jahve u dan nevolje, štitilo te ime Boga Jakovljeva!

2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and support thee from Zion;

Poslao ti pomoć iz Svetišta, branio te sa Siona!

3 May he remember all thy meat-offerings, and accept in favor thy burnt-sacrifice. (Selah)

Spomenuo se svih ti prinosnica, bila mu mila paljenica tvoja!

4 May he grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfill all thy resolves.

Udijelio ti što ti srce želi, ispunio sve namisli tvoje!

5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we upraise our banners: may the Lord fulfill all thy petitions.

Radovali se tvojoj pobjedi, u ime Boga svoga dizali stjegove! Ispunio Jahve svaku molbu tvoju!

6 Now I know that the Lord saveth his anointed: he will answer him from his holy heavens, with the saving strength of his right hand.

Znam evo: Jahve će pobjedu dati svom pomazaniku, uslišit ga iz svetih nebesa snagom pobjedne desnice svoje.

7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses; but we will invoke the name of the Lord our God.

Jedni se hvale kolima bojnim, drugi konjima, mi imenom Jahve, Boga našega!

8 They are prostrate and fallen; but we are risen up and stand erect.

Oni posrću i padaju, mi se držimo i stojimo.

9 O Lord, save [us]: may the king answer us on the day when we call [on him].

Jahve, daruj pobjedu kralju, usliši nas u dan kad te zazovemo!
