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].

To the choirmaster a psalm of David. May he answer you Yahweh in a day of trouble may it set on high you [the] name of - [the] God of Jacob.

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].

May he send help your from [the] sanctuary and from Zion may he support you.

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.

May he remember all offerings your and burnt offering your may he accept! (Selah)

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.

May he give to you according to heart your and every plan your may he fulfill.

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.

We will shout for joy - at victory your and in [the] name of God our we will raise a banner may he fulfill Yahweh all requests your.

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].

Now I know that he delivers - Yahweh anointed his he answers him from [the] heavens of holiness his with [the] mighty deeds of salvation of right [hand] his.

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.

These chariotry and these horses and we - [the] name of Yahweh God our we bring to remembrance.

8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).

They they bow down and they fall and we we arise and we have kept upright.

9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]

O Yahweh save! the king may he answer us on [the] day call out we.
