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. A psalm of David. The Lord answer you in the day of distress, the name of the Jacob’s God protect you,

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

sending you help from the temple, out of Zion supporting you.

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)

All your meal-offerings may he remember, your burnt-offerings look on with favor. (Selah)

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 you your heart’s desire, and bring all your plans to pass.

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 shout then for joy at your victory, and rejoice in the name of our God. May the Lord grant your every request.

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 am sure that the Lord will help his anointed. From his temple in heaven he will answer by his mighty triumphant 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 in chariots are strong, some in horses; but our strength is the Lord 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 will totter and fall, while we rise and stand firm.

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

Give victory, Lord, to the king, and answer us when we call.
