Psalmi 20

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

Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high,

2 pošlje ti pomoč iz svetišča in te okrepi s Siona,

send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion,

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

remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice (Selah)

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

grant thee thy heart's desire, and fulfill all thy counsel.

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

We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. Jehovah fulfill all thy petitions.

6 Sedaj vem, da Gospod rešuje svojega maziljenca; iz svojih svetih nebes ga bo uslišal z rešujočo močjo svoje desnice.

Now I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

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

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

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

They are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen, and stand upright.

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

Save, Jehovah! Let the King answer us when we call.
