1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.

2 \20:1\May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob;

3 \20:2\May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion;

4 \20:3\May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah.)

5 \20:4\May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

6 \20:5\We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

7 \20:6\Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

8 \20:7\Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

9 \20:8\They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

10 \20:9\Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.

1 Til sangmesteren; en salme av David.

2 Herren bønnhøre dig på nødens dag, Jakobs Guds navn berge dig!

3 Han sende dig hjelp fra helligdommen og støtte dig fra Sion!

4 Han komme alle dine matoffer i hu og finne ditt brennoffer godt! Sela.

5 Han gi dig efter ditt hjerte og fullbyrde alt ditt råd!

6 Måtte vi kunne juble over din frelse og løfte seiersmerket i vår Guds navn! Herren opfylle alle dine bønner!

7 Nu vet jeg at Herren frelser sin salvede; han svarer ham fra sin hellige himmel med frelsende storverk av sin høire hånd.

8 Hine priser vogner, hine hester, men vi priser Herrens, vår Guds navn.

9 De synker og faller, men vi står og holder oss oppe.

10 Herre, frels! Kongen bønnhøre oss på den dag vi roper!
