Psalms
Chapter 20
1 1 For the leader. A psalm of David.
达味诗歌，交与乐官。
2 The LORD answer you in time of distress; the name of the God of Jacob defend you!
愿上主在忧患之日，俯允你，雅各伯天主的名，保佑你！
3 May God send you help from the temple, from Zion be your support.
愿他从圣所救护你，愿他由熙雍扶助你！
4 2 May God remember your every offering, graciously accept your holocaust, Selah
愿他追念你的一切祭献，愿他悦纳你的全燔祭献！
5 Grant what is in your heart, fulfill your every plan.
愿他满全你心中的志愿，愿他玉成你的一切筹算！
6 3 May we shout for joy at your victory, raise the banners in the name of our God. The LORD grant your every prayer!
我们要因你的胜利而欢舞，奉我们天主的名竖立旗鼓：你的一切请求，愿上主成就！
7 Now I know victory is given to the anointed of the LORD. God will answer him from the holy heavens with a strong arm that brings victory.
我深信上主必赏他的受傅者获胜，以无敌右手救拯，从神圣高天俯听。
8 Some rely on chariots, others on horses, but we on the name of the LORD our God.
他们或仗恃战车，他们或仗恃战马；我们只以上主，我们天主的名自夸。
9 They collapse and fall, but we stand strong and firm.
他们必将倒地丧命。我们却将挺身立定。
10 LORD, grant victory to the king; answer when we call upon you.
上主，求你赐于君王获胜，我们求你时，请俯允我们。

Footnotes（注解）
1 [Psalm 20] The people pray for the king before battle. The people ask for divine help (Psalm 20:2-6) and express confidence that such help will be given (Psalm 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 Psalm 12:6; 21:9-13. The final verse (Psalm 20:9) [10] echoes the opening verse.
2 [4] Remember: God's remembering implies readiness to act. Cf Genesis 8:1; Exodus 2:24
3 [6] Victory: the Hebrew root is often translated "salvation," "to save," but in military contexts it can have the specific meaning of "victory."
