Psalms 20

1 For the leader. A psalm of David. The Lord answer you in the day of distress, the name of the Jacob’s God protect you,

Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Uslišio te Jahve u dan nevolje, štitilo te ime Boga Jakovljeva!

2 sending you help from the temple, out of Zion supporting you.

Poslao ti pomoć iz Svetišta, branio te sa Siona!

3 All your meal-offerings may he remember, your burnt-offerings look on with favor. (Selah)

Spomenuo se svih ti prinosnica, bila mu mila paljenica tvoja!

4 May he grant you your heart’s desire, and bring all your plans to pass.

Udijelio ti što ti srce želi, ispunio sve namisli tvoje!

5 We will shout then for joy at your victory, and rejoice in the name of our God. May the Lord grant your every request.

Radovali se tvojoj pobjedi, u ime Boga svoga dizali stjegove! Ispunio Jahve svaku molbu tvoju!

6 Now I am sure that the Lord will help his anointed. From his temple in heaven he will answer by his mighty triumphant right hand.

Znam evo: Jahve će pobjedu dati svom pomazaniku, uslišit ga iz svetih nebesa snagom pobjedne desnice svoje.

7 Some in chariots are strong, some in horses; but our strength is the Lord our God.

Jedni se hvale kolima bojnim, drugi konjima, mi imenom Jahve, Boga našega!

8 They will totter and fall, while we rise and stand firm.

Oni posrću i padaju, mi se držimo i stojimo.

9 Give victory, Lord, to the king, and answer us when we call.

Jahve, daruj pobjedu kralju, usliši nas u dan kad te zazovemo!
