祈求 神使王得勝

大衛的詩,交給詩班長。

20 願耶和華在你遭難的日子應允你,

願雅各的 神的名保護你。

願他從聖所幫助你,

從錫安扶持你。

願他記念你的一切素祭,

悅納你的燔祭。(細拉)

願他照著你的心願賞賜你,

實現你的一切計劃。

我們要因你的勝利歡呼,

因我們 神的名高舉旗幟;

願耶和華實現你所求的一切。

現在我確知,耶和華拯救自己的受膏者;

他必從他的聖天上應允他,

用自己右手的能力拯救他。

有人靠車,有人靠馬。

我們卻靠耶和華我們 神的名。

他們都屈身跌倒,

我們卻起來,挺身而立。

耶和華啊!求你拯救君王!

我們呼求的時候,願你應允我們(按照《馬索拉文本》,“願你應允我們”應作“願他應允我們”;現參照《七十士譯本》翻譯)。

A Prayer for the King

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

20 May the Lord answer you in ·times [L the day] of ·trouble [distress].
    May the name of the God of Jacob ·protect [defend; provide refuge for] you [Num. 6:24].
May he send you help from ·his Temple [L the sanctuary]
    and support you from Mount Zion [C location of the Temple].
May he remember all your ·offerings [gifts; tributes; grain offerings; Lev. 2]
    and ·accept [look with favor on] all your ·sacrifices [L whole burnt offerings; Lev. 1]. ·Selah [Interlude]
May he give you ·what you want [L all your heart]
    and ·make all your plans succeed [L fulfill all your plans],
and we will shout for joy when you ·succeed [are victorious; C as in battle],
    and we will raise a ·flag [banner] in the name of our God.
May the Lord ·give you [fulfill] all that you ask for.

Now I know the Lord ·helps [saves; gives victory to] his ·appointed king [anointed].
    He answers him from his holy heaven
    and ·saves him [gives him victory] with his strong right hand.
Some ·trust in [boast in; rely on] chariots, others in horses,
    but we ·trust [boast in; rely on] the name of the Lord our God [Is. 2:7].
They ·are overwhelmed and defeated [collapse and fall],
    but we ·march forward and win [L rise and stand erect].
Lord, ·save [give victory to] the king!
    Answer us when we call for help.

Psalm 20

Deliverance in Battle

For the choir director. A psalm of David.

May the Lord answer you in a day of trouble;(A)
may the name of Jacob’s God protect you.(B)
May he send you help from the sanctuary
and sustain you from Zion.(C)
May he remember all your offerings
and accept your burnt offering.(D)Selah

May he give you what your heart desires(E)
and fulfill your whole purpose.(F)
Let us shout for joy at your victory(G)
and lift the banner in the name of our God.(H)
May the Lord fulfill all your requests.(I)

Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his anointed;(J)
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with mighty victories from his right hand.(K)
Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses,
but we take pride in the name of the Lord our God.(L)
They collapse and fall,
but we rise and stand firm.(M)
Lord, give victory to the king!(N)
May he[a] answer us on the day that we call.
