Psalms 20

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

Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

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

Herren bønhøre dig paa Nødens Dag! Jakobs Guds Navn ophøje dig!

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

Han sende dig Hjælp fra Helligdommen og understøtte dig fra Zion!

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

Han ihukomme alle dine Madofre, og dit Brændoffer finde han fedt! (Sela)

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

Han give dig efter dit Hjerte og opfylde alle dine Anslag!

6 Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

Saa ville vi synge om din Frelse og i vor Guds Navn oprejse Banner; Herren opfylde alle dine Begæringer!

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name 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 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

Disse forlade sig paa Vogne og disse paa Heste; men vi ville prise Herren vor Guds Navn.

9 Save, Yahweh! Let the King answer us when we call!

De have maattet bøje sig og ere faldne; men vi staa og holde os oprejste. Frels, Herre! Kongen bønhøre os den Dag, vi raabe!
