Psalms 20

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

Til Sangmesteren. En Salme af David.

2 send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

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

3 remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

4 May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfil all your counsel.

han komme alle dine Afgrødeofre i Hu og tage dit Brændoffer gyldigt! (Sela)

5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.

Han give dig efter dit Hjertes Attraa, han fuldbyrde alt dit Raad,

6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, 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 trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

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

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

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

9 Save, LORD! Let the King answer 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!
