Psalms 20

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

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

2 send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

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

3 remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. (Selah)

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

4 May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

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

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

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

6 Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

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

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

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

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

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

9 Save, Yahweh! Let the King answer us when we call!

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