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!

Gospod te sliši na dan stiske, ime Jakobovega Boga te brani,

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

pošlje ti pomoč iz svetišča in te okrepi s Siona,

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

spominja se vseh tvojih daritev in sprejema tvojo žgalno daritev. (Sela)

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

Usliši te glede na tvoje lastno srce in izpolni vso tvojo namero.

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.

Veselili se bomo v tvoji rešitvi duše in svoje prapore bomo postavili v imenu svojega Boga. Gospod izpolnjuje vse tvoje prošnje.

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.

Sedaj vem, da Gospod rešuje svojega maziljenca; iz svojih svetih nebes ga bo uslišal z rešujočo močjo svoje desnice.

7 Some glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God.

Nekateri zaupajo v bojne vozove, nekateri pa v konje, toda mi se bomo spominjali imena Gospoda, svojega Boga.

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

Oni so ponižani in padli, toda mi vstanemo in stojimo pokončno.

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

Reši, Gospod. Naj nas sliši kralj, ko kličemo.
