A Prayer for Victory
1 May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble!
May the God of Jacob protect you!
2 May he send you help from his Temple
and give you aid from Mount Zion.
3 May he accept all your offerings
and be pleased with all your sacrifices.
4 May he give you what you desire
and make all your plans succeed.
5 Then we will shout for joy over your victory
and celebrate your triumph by praising our God.
May the Lord answer all your requests.
6 Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his chosen king;
he answers him from his holy heaven
and by his power gives him great victories.
7 Some trust in their war chariots
and others in their horses,
but we trust in the power of the Lord our God.
8 Such people will stumble and fall,
but we will rise and stand firm.
9 Give victory to the king, O Lord;
answer us when we call.
Lūgšana par valdnieku
1 Korvedim. Dāvida psalms .
2 Lai Kungs atbild tev briesmu dienā,
lai Jēkaba Dieva vārds tevi paaugstina,
3 lai sūta no svētnīcas tev palīdzību,
lai no Ciānas tevi balsta,
4 lai atceras visus tavus upurus,
tavi sadedzināmie upuri lai viņam tīkami.
5 Lai viņš tev dod, ko grib tava sirds,
ko tu nolūko, lai viņš tev rod!
6 Lai gavilējam par tavu uzvaru,
mūsu Dieva vārdā lai ceļam karogus!
Lai Kungs piepilda visas tavas lūgsnas!
7 Nu zinu, ka Kungs glābs savu svaidīto,
atsauksies tam no savām svētajām debesīm,
pestīs to ar savu vareno labo roku!
8 Tie kaujas ratus un šie zirgus,
bet mēs – Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdu daudzinām!
9 Viņi liecas un krīt,
bet mēs ceļamies un stāvam taisni!
10 Dievs, sargi ķēniņu!
Lai viņš mums atsaucas dienā, kad sauksim!
