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 salme af David.) På trængselens dag bønhøre Herren dig, værne dig Jakobs Guds Navn!
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].
Han sende dig Hjælp fra Helligdommen, fra Zion styrke han 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 komme alle dine Afgrødeofre i Hu og tage dit Brændoffer gyldigt! (Sela)
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 give dig efter dit Hjertes Attrå, han fuldbyrde alt dit Råd,
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.
at vi må juble over din Frelse, løfte Banner i vor Guds Navn! HERREN opfylde alle dine Bønner!
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].
Nu ved jeg, at HERREN frelser sin Salvede og svarer ham fra sin hellige Himmel med sin højres frelsende Vælde.
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.
Nogle stoler på Heste, andre på Vogne, vi sejrer ved HERREN vor Guds Navn.
8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
De synker i Knæ og falder, vi rejser os og kommer atter på Fode.
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
HERRE, frels dog Kongen og svar os, den Dag vi kalder!
