Psalms 20

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

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

2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and watch over you from Zion.

pošlje ti pomoč iz svetišča in te okrepi s Siona,

3 May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.

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

4 May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.

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

5 We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.

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

6 May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

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

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

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

8 They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

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

9 O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.

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