Psalms 20

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

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

2 He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

pošlje ti pomoč iz svetišča in te okrepi s Siona,

3 He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

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

4 He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

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

5 We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

Veselili se bomo v tvoji rešitvi duše in svoje prapore bomo postavili v imenu svojega Boga. Gospod izpolnjuje vse tvoje prošnje.

6 Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might 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 of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

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

8 They — they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

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

9 O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!

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