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 Salme af David.

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

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

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

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

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

han komme alle dine Afgrødeofre i Hu og tage dit Brændoffer gyldigt! (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 Hjertes Attraa, han fuldbyrde alt dit Raad,

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.

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 in the name of Jehovah our God.

Nu ved jeg, at HERREN frelser sin Salvede og svarer ham fra sin hellige Himmel med sin højres frelsende Vælde.

8 They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect.

Nogle stoler paa Heste, andre paa Vogne, vi sejrer ved HERREN vor Guds Navn.

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

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!
