詩篇 20

1 ねがはくはヱホバなやみの日になんぢにこたヘヤユブのかみの名なんぢを高にあげ

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend thee!

2 聖所より援助をなんぢにおくりシオンより能力をなんぢにあたへ

May he send thee help from his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion!

3 汝のもろもろの献物をみこころにとめ なんぢの燔祭をうけたまはんことを (セラ)

May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! (Pause)

4 ねがはくはなんちがこころの願望をゆるし なんぢの謀略をことごとく遂しめたまはんことを

May he grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfill all thy purposes!

5 我儕なんぢの救によりて歓びうたひ われらの神の名によりて旗をたてん ねがはくはヱホバ汝のもろもろの求をとげしめたまはんことを

We will rejoice in thy protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled all thy petitions.

6 われ今ヱホバその受膏者をすくひたまふを知る ヱホバそのきよき天より右手なるすくひの力にてかれに應へたまはん

Now I know that Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 あるひは車をたのみあるひは馬をたのみとする者あり されどわれらはわが神ヱホバの名をとなへん

Some glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God.

8 かれらは屈みまた仆るわれらは起てかたくたてり

They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect.

9 ヱホバよ王をすくひたまへ われらがよぶとき應へたまへ

The LORD save the king! May he hear us when we call!
