Psalms 20

1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

Til Sangmesteren. En Salme af David.

2 Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;

Paa Trængselens Dag bønhøre HERREN dig, værne dig Jakobs Guds Navn!

3 Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending-sacrifice, esteem. (Selah)

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

4 Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

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

5 We will shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh fulfil all thy petitions.

Han give dig efter dit Hjertes Attraa, han fuldbyrde alt dit Raad,

6 Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

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

7 These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

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

8 They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.

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

9 Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.

De synker i Knæ og falder, vi rejser os og kommer atter paa Fode. HERRE, frels dog Kongen og svar os, den Dag vi kalder!
