诗篇 20
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
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。
2 願他從聖所幫助你,
從錫安扶持你。
3 願他記念你的一切素祭,
悅納你的燔祭。(細拉)
4 願他照著你的心願賞賜你,
實現你的一切計劃。
5 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。
6 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。
7 有人靠車,有人靠馬。
我們卻靠耶和華我們 神的名。
8 他們都屈身跌倒,
我們卻起來,挺身而立。
9 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)。
稱頌 神賜王尊榮勝利
大衛的詩,交給詩班長。
Psalm 20
New International Version
Psalm 20[a]
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;(A)
may the name of the God of Jacob(B) protect you.(C)
2 May he send you help(D) from the sanctuary(E)
and grant you support(F) from Zion.(G)
3 May he remember(H) all your sacrifices
and accept your burnt offerings.[b](I)
4 May he give you the desire of your heart(J)
and make all your plans succeed.(K)
5 May we shout for joy(L) over your victory
and lift up our banners(M) in the name of our God.
May the Lord grant all your requests.(N)
6 Now this I know:
The Lord gives victory to his anointed.(O)
He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary
with the victorious power of his right hand.(P)
7 Some trust in chariots(Q) and some in horses,(R)
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.(S)
8 They are brought to their knees and fall,(T)
but we rise up(U) and stand firm.(V)
9 Lord, give victory to the king!
Answer us(W) when we call!

to his anointed.(B)
He will answer him from the holy heavens
with a strong arm that brings victory.

but we on the name of the Lord our God.(C)

but we stand strong and firm.(D)

answer when we call upon you.
Footnotes
- Psalm 20 The people pray for the king before battle. The people ask for divine help (Ps 20:2–6) and express confidence that such help will be given (Ps 20:7–10). A solemn assurance of divine help may well have been given between the two sections in the liturgy, something like the promises of Ps 12:6; 21:9–13. The final verse (Ps 20:10) echoes the opening verse.
- 20:4 Remember: God’s remembering implies readiness to act, cf. Gn 8:1; Ex 2:24.
- 20:6 Victory: the Hebrew root is often translated “salvation,” “to save,” but in military contexts it can have the specific meaning of “victory.”
