Psalms 20

1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend thee!

Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

2 May he send thee help from his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion!

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

3 May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! (Pause)

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

4 May he grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfill all thy purposes!

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

5 We will rejoice in thy protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled all thy petitions.

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

6 Now I know that Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him with the saving strength 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 glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God.

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 stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect.

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

9 The LORD save the king! May he hear us when 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!
