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)。

Psalm 20

For the music leader. A psalm of David.

20 I pray that the Lord answers you
        whenever you are in trouble.
    Let the name of Jacob’s God protect you.
Let God send help to you from the sanctuary
    and support you from Zion.
Let God recall your many grain offerings;
    let him savor your entirely burned offerings. Selah
Let God grant what is in your heart
    and fulfill all your plans.
Then we will rejoice that you’ve been helped.
    We will fly our flags in the name of our God.
    Let the Lord fulfill all your requests!

Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed one;
    God answers his anointed one
        from his heavenly sanctuary,
    answering with mighty acts of salvation
        achieved by his strong hand.
Some people trust in chariots, others in horses;
    but we praise the Lord’s name.
They will collapse and fall,
    but we will stand up straight and strong.

Lord, save the king!
    Let him answer us when we cry out!

(A psalm by David for the music leader.)

A Prayer for Victory

I pray that the Lord
will listen when you
    are in trouble,
and that the God of Jacob
    will keep you safe.
May the Lord send help
    from his temple
and come to your rescue
    from Mount Zion.
May he remember your gifts
and be pleased
    with what you bring.

May God do what you want most
    and let all go well for you.
Then you will win victories,
    and we will celebrate,
while raising our banners
    in the name of our God.
May the Lord answer
    all your prayers!

I am certain, Lord,
that you will help
    your chosen king.
You will answer my prayers
from your holy place
    in heaven,
and you will save me
    with your mighty arm.

Some people trust the power
of chariots or horses,
    but we trust you, Lord God.
Others will stumble and fall,
but we will be strong
    and stand firm.

Give the king victory, Lord,
    and answer our prayers.[a]
