Psalms 20

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The LORD answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

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

2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

pošlje ti pomoč iz svetišča in te okrepi s Siona,

3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; (Selah)

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

4 Grant thee thy heart’s desire, and fulfill all thy counsel.

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

5 We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill 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 know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he wilt answer him from his holy heaven 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 [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will make mention of the name of the LORD our God.

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

8 They are bowed down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

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

9 Save, LORD: let the King answer us when we call.

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