Psalmi 20

1 Dāvida dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim. Lai Tas Kungs tevi paklausa bēdu laikā, lai Jēkaba Dieva vārds tevi paaugstina.

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,

2 Lai Viņš tev palīdzību sūta no svētās vietas un tevi spēcina no Ciānas.

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

3 Lai Viņš piemin visus tavus upurus, un tavus dedzināmos upurus tur par trekniem.

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

4 Lai Viņš tev dod pēc tavas sirds, un piepilda visus tavus padomus.

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

5 Mēs priecāsimies par tavu pestīšanu, un sava Dieva vārdā mēs celsim karogu; lai Tas Kungs piepilda visas tavas lūgšanas.

We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy 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 have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

7 Šie paļaujas uz ratiem un šie uz zirgiem, bet mēs pieminam Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdu.

Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

8 Tie ir gāzušies un krituši, bet mēs esam cēlušies un stāvam.

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

9 Ak Kungs, palīdzi ķēniņam! Lai viņš mūs paklausa tai dienā, kad saucam.

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