< 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].
伶長にうたはしめたるダビデのうた ねがはくはヱホバなやみの日になんぢにこたヘヤユブのかみの名なんぢを高にあげ
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].
聖所より援助をなんぢにおくりシオンより能力をなんぢにあたへ
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.
汝のもろもろの献物をみこころにとめ なんぢの燔祭をうけたまはんことを (セラ)
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.
ねがはくはなんちがこころの願望をゆるし なんぢの謀略をことごとく遂しめたまはんことを
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.
我儕なんぢの救によりて歓びうたひ われらの神の名によりて旗をたてん ねがはくはヱホバ汝のもろもろの求をとげしめたまはんことを
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].
われ今ヱホバその受膏者をすくひたまふを知る ヱホバそのきよき天より右の手なるすくひの力にてかれに應へたまはん
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.
あるひは車をたのみあるひは馬をたのみとする者あり されどわれらはわが神ヱホバの名をとなへん
8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
かれらは屈みまた仆るわれらは起てかたくたてり
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
ヱホバよ王をすくひたまへ われらがよぶとき應へたまへ
