Psalms 20

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May Jehovah answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

(Til sangmesteren. En salme af David.) På trængselens dag bønhøre Herren dig, værne dig Jakobs Guds Navn!

2 He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

Han sende dig Hjælp fra Helligdommen, fra Zion styrke han dig;

3 He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

han komme alle dine Afgrødeofre i Hu og tage dit Brændoffer gyldigt! (Sela)

4 He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

Han give dig efter dit Hjertes Attrå, han fuldbyrde alt dit Råd,

5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Jehovah grant all your requests.

at vi må juble over din Frelse, løfte Banner i vor Guds Navn! HERREN opfylde alle dine Bønner!

6 Now I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by his right hand.

Nu ved jeg, at HERREN frelser sin Salvede og svarer ham fra sin hellige Himmel med sin højres frelsende Vælde.

7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of Jehovah our God.

Nogle stoler på Heste, andre på Vogne, vi sejrer ved HERREN vor Guds Navn.

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

De synker i Knæ og falder, vi rejser os og kommer atter på Fode.

9 Save, Jehovah. Let the King answer us when we call.

HERRE, frels dog Kongen og svar os, den Dag vi kalder!
