< Psalms 20 >

1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.
Til sangmesteren; en salme av David. Herren bønnhøre dig på nødens dag, Jakobs Guds navn berge dig!
2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.
Han sende dig hjelp fra helligdommen og støtte dig fra Sion!
3 May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.
Han komme alle dine matoffer i hu og finne ditt brennoffer godt! (Sela)
4 May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.
Han gi dig efter ditt hjerte og fullbyrde alt ditt råd!
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.
Måtte vi kunne juble over din frelse og løfte seiersmerket i vår Guds navn! Herren opfylle alle dine bønner!
6 The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.
Nu vet jeg at Herren frelser sin salvede; han svarer ham fra sin hellige himmel med frelsende storverk av sin høire hånd.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.
Hine priser vogner, hine hester, men vi priser Herrens, vår Guds navn.
8 They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.
De synker og faller, men vi står og holder oss oppe.
9 O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
Herre, frels! Kongen bønnhøre oss på den dag vi roper!
