Psalmi 20

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

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.

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 according to thy own heart, 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 rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD 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 the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear 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 remember the name of the LORD our God.

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

They are brought down and fallen: but we are raised, and stand upright.

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

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
