Psalmi 20

1 Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Usliši te naj Gospod ob času stiske; na višavo naj te postavi ime Boga Jakobovega.

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 naj ti pomoč iz svetišča, in sè Sijona naj te podpira.

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

3 Dúha naj vse dari tvoje, in upepeli naj žgalno daritev tvojo.

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

4 Dá ti naj po srci tvojem, in izpolni naj vsak sklep tvoj.

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

5 Prepevajmo o blaginji tvoji; in v imenu Boga našega nosimo zastave; izpolni naj Gospod vse prošnje tvoje.

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 Zdaj spoznavam, da Gospod brani maziljenca svojega, usliši ga z nebes svetosti svoje; po največji kreposti, blaginji desnice svoje.

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 Ti vóz, in oni kónj, mi pa se spominjamo imena Gospoda, Boga našega.

Some trust in chariots and some in war horses, but we trust in who the Lord our God is.

8 Oni se pripogibajo in padajo; mi pa vstajamo in stojimo.

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

9 Gospod, reši! kralj sam naj usliši nas ob času, ko ga bodemo klicali.

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