Psalmi 20

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

For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you.

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

Send you help from the sanctuary, and aid you out of Sion.

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

Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. (Pause)

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

Grant you according to your heart, and fulfill all your desire.

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

We will exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all your 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 the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

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

Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

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

They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

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

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon you.
