< Psalms 20 >

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.
Til songmeisteren; ein salme av David. Herren bønhøyre deg på trengselsdagen, namnet åt Jakobs Gud berge deg!
2 He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.
Gjev han må senda deg hjelp frå heilagdomen og stydja deg frå Sion!
3 He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)
Gjev han må minnast alle dine grjonoffer og finna ditt brennoffer godt! (Sela)
4 He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.
Han gjeve deg etter ditt hjarta og fullføre alle dine råder!
5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.
Me vil fagna oss ved di frelsa og i vår Guds namn lyfta sigermerket. Herren uppfylle alle dine bøner!
6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by his right hand.
No veit eg at Herren frelser den han salva; han svarar honom frå sin heilage himmel med frelsande storverk av si høgre hand.
7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of the LORD our God.
Desse prisar vogner, og hine prisar hestar, men me prisar namnet åt Herren, vår Gud.
8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.
Dei sig i kne og fell, men me stend og held oss uppe.
9 Save, LORD. Let the King answer us when we call.
Herre, frels kongen! Han svare oss den dag me ropar!
