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;

Gospod te sliši na dan stiske, ime Jakobovega Boga te brani,

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

pošlje ti pomoč iz svetišča in te okrepi s Siona,

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

spominja se vseh tvojih daritev in sprejema tvojo žgalno daritev. (Sela)

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

Usliši te glede na tvoje lastno srce in izpolni vso tvojo namero.

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

Veselili se bomo v tvoji rešitvi duše in svoje prapore bomo postavili v imenu svojega Boga. Gospod izpolnjuje vse tvoje prošnje.

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.

Sedaj vem, da Gospod rešuje svojega maziljenca; iz svojih svetih nebes ga bo uslišal z rešujočo močjo svoje desnice.

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

Nekateri zaupajo v bojne vozove, nekateri pa v konje, toda mi se bomo spominjali imena Gospoda, svojega Boga.

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

Oni so ponižani in padli, toda mi vstanemo in stojimo pokončno.

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

Reši, Gospod. Naj nas sliši kralj, ko kličemo.
