Psalms 20
1 I desire that Yahweh will answer you [when you call out to him] when you have troubles! God is the one whom ([our ancestor] Jacob/the Israeli people) [worshiped]; I desire that he will protect you [MTY] [from being harmed by your enemies].
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ لِيَسْتَجِبْ لَكَ الرَّبُّ فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِكَ. لِيَحْرُسْكَ اسْمُ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ. | ١ |
2 I desire/hope that he will reach out from his sacred temple and help you, and aid you from [where he lives] on Zion [Hill].
| لِيُرْسِلْ لَكَ عَوْناً مِنْ مَقْدِسِهِ، وَمُسَانَدَةً مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ. | ٢ |
3 I desire/hope that he will accept all the offerings that you give him to be burned [on the altar], and all your [other] offerings.
| لِيَتَذَكَّرْ جَمِيعَ تَقْدِمَاتِكَ، وَيَتَقَبَّلْ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ. | ٣ |
4 I want him to give to you what you desire, and that you will be able to accomplish all that you desire to do.
| لِيُعْطِكَ بُغْيَةَ قَلْبِكَ، وَيُتَمِّمْ لَكَ كُلَّ مَقَاصِدِكَ. | ٤ |
5 When [we hear that] you have defeated [your enemies], we will shout joyfully. We will lift up a banner proclaiming that it is God [MTY] [who helps us](inc). I want Yahweh to [do for you] all that you request him to do.
| نَهْتِفُ مُبْتَهِجِينَ بِخَلاصِكَ، وَبِاسْمِ إِلَهِنَا نَرْفَعُ رَايَتَنَا، لِيُحَقِّقْ لَكَ الرَّبُّ كُلَّ مَا تَسْأَلُهُ. | ٥ |
6 I know now that Yahweh rescues [me], the one whom he has chosen [to be king]. From his holy place in heaven he will answer me, and he will save me by his great power [MTY].
| الآنَ أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُخَلِّصُ مَسِيحَهُ، وَيَسْتَجِيبُ مِنْ سَمَاوَاتِهِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، بِقُدْرَةِ يَمِينِهِ الْمُخَلِّصَةِ. | ٦ |
7 Some [kings] trust that because they have chariots [they will be able to defeat their enemies], and some trust that their horses [will enable them to defeat their enemies], but we will trust in the power [MTY] of Yahweh our God.
| يَتَّكِلُ هَؤُلاءِ عَلَى مَرْكَبَاتِ الْحَرْبِ، وَأُولَئِكَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ. أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَتَّكِلُ عَلَى اسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. | ٧ |
8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
| هُمْ خَرُّوا وَسَقَطُوا، أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَهَضْنَا وَانْتَصَبْنَا. | ٨ |
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
| خَلِّصْ يَا رَبُّ! لِيَسْتَجِبِ الْمَلِكُ حِينَ نَدْعُوهُ. | ٩ |
