Psalms 20
1 I desire that Yahweh will answer you [when you call out to him] when you have troubles! God is the one whom ([our ancestor] Jacob/the Israeli people) [worshiped]; I desire that he will protect you [MTY] [from being harmed by your enemies].
Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.
2 I desire/hope that he will reach out from his sacred temple and help you, and aid you from [where he lives] on Zion [Hill].
Herren bønhøre dig paa Nødens Dag! Jakobs Guds Navn ophøje dig!
3 I desire/hope that he will accept all the offerings that you give him to be burned [on the altar], and all your [other] offerings.
Han sende dig Hjælp fra Helligdommen og understøtte dig fra Zion!
4 I want him to give to you what you desire, and that you will be able to accomplish all that you desire to do.
Han ihukomme alle dine Madofre, og dit Brændoffer finde han fedt! (Sela)
5 When [we hear that] you have defeated [your enemies], we will shout joyfully. We will lift up a banner proclaiming that it is God [MTY] [who helps us](inc). I want Yahweh to [do for you] all that you request him to do.
Han give dig efter dit Hjerte og opfylde alle dine Anslag!
6 I know now that Yahweh rescues [me], the one whom he has chosen [to be king]. From his holy place in heaven he will answer me, and he will save me by his great power [MTY].
Saa ville vi synge om din Frelse og i vor Guds Navn oprejse Banner; Herren opfylde alle dine Begæringer!
7 Some [kings] trust that because they have chariots [they will be able to defeat their enemies], and some trust that their horses [will enable them to defeat their enemies], but we will trust in the power [MTY] of Yahweh 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 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
Disse forlade sig paa Vogne og disse paa Heste; men vi ville prise Herren vor Guds Navn.
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
De have maattet bøje sig og ere faldne; men vi staa og holde os oprejste. Frels, Herre! Kongen bønhøre os den Dag, vi raabe!
