Psalms 20

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH answers you, In a day of adversity, The Name of the God of Jacob sets you on high,

Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

2 He sends your help from the sanctuary, And supports you from Zion,

Herren bønhøre dig paa Nødens Dag! Jakobs Guds Navn ophøje dig!

3 He remembers all your presents, And reduces your burnt-offering to ashes. (Selah)

Han sende dig Hjælp fra Helligdommen og understøtte dig fra Zion!

4 He gives to you according to your heart, And fulfills all your counsel.

Han ihukomme alle dine Madofre, og dit Brændoffer finde han fedt! (Sela)

5 We sing of Your salvation, And in the Name of our God set up a banner. YHWH fulfills all your requests.

Han give dig efter dit Hjerte og opfylde alle dine Anslag!

6 Now I have known That YHWH has saved His anointed, He answers him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

Saa ville vi synge om din Frelse og i vor Guds Navn oprejse Banner; Herren opfylde alle dine Begæringer!

7 Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the Name of our God YHWH Make mention.

Nu ved jeg, at Herren frelser sin Salvede, han vil bønhøre ham fra sin hellige Himmel; ved hans frelsende højre Haands vældige Gerninger.

8 They have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

Disse forlade sig paa Vogne og disse paa Heste; men vi ville prise Herren vor Guds Navn.

9 O YHWH, save the king, He answers us in the day we call!

De have maattet bøje sig og ere faldne; men vi staa og holde os oprejste. Frels, Herre! Kongen bønhøre os den Dag, vi raabe!
