< Psalmi 20 >
1 Dāvida dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim. Lai Tas Kungs tevi paklausa bēdu laikā, lai Jēkaba Dieva vārds tevi paaugstina.
For the music director. A psalm of David. May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 Lai Viņš tev palīdzību sūta no svētās vietas un tevi spēcina no Ciānas.
May the Lord send you help from the sanctuary, and may he support you from Zion.
3 Lai Viņš piemin visus tavus upurus, un tavus dedzināmos upurus tur par trekniem.
May the Lord remember all your offerings, and accept all your burnt sacrifices. (Selah)
4 Lai Viņš tev dod pēc tavas sirds, un piepilda visus tavus padomus.
May the Lord give you whatever you really want; may he make all your plans successful.
5 Mēs priecāsimies par tavu pestīšanu, un sava Dieva vārdā mēs celsim karogu; lai Tas Kungs piepilda visas tavas lūgšanas.
May we shout for joy over your victory, and set up banners in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your requests.
6 Nu es zinu, ka Tas Kungs Savam svaidītam palīdz; Viņš to paklausīs no Savām svētām debesīm caur Savas labās rokas stipro pestīšanu.
Now I know that the Lord saves the one he has anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, and save his anointed by his powerful right hand.
7 Šie paļaujas uz ratiem un šie uz zirgiem, bet mēs pieminam Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdu.
Some trust in chariots and some in war horses, but we trust in who the Lord our God is.
8 Tie ir gāzušies un krituši, bet mēs esam cēlušies un stāvam.
They collapse and fall down, but we rise and stand up.
9 Ak Kungs, palīdzi ķēniņam! Lai viņš mūs paklausa tai dienā, kad saucam.
May the Lord save the king! Please answer us when we call for help!
