Psalmi 20

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

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 pošlje ti pomoč iz svetišča in te okrepi s Siona,

May the Lord send you help from the sanctuary, and may he support you from Zion.

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

May the Lord remember all your offerings, and accept all your burnt sacrifices. (Selah)

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

May the Lord give you whatever you really want; may he make all your plans successful.

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

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 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 the one he has anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, and save his anointed by his powerful 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 war horses, but we trust in who the Lord our God is.

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

They collapse and fall down, but we rise and stand up.

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

May the Lord save the king! Please answer us when we call for help!
