Psalmi 20

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

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

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

send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

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

remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. (Selah)

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

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your 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 your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.

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

Now I know that the LORD 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 trust in the name of the LORD our God.

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

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

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

Save, LORD! Let the King answer us when we call!
