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].
O Senhor te ouça no dia da angústia, o nome do Deus de Jacob te proteja.
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].
Envie-te socorro desde o seu santuário, e te sustenha desde Sião.
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.
Lembre-se de todas as tuas ofertas, e aceite os teus holocaustos (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.
Conceda-te conforme ao teu coração, e cumpra todo o teu conselho.
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.
Nós nos alegraremos pela tua salvação, e em nome do nosso Deus arvoraremos pendões; cumpra o Senhor todas as tuas petições.
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].
Agora sei que o Senhor salva ao seu ungido: ele o ouvirá desde o seu santo céu, com a força salvadora da sua mão direita.
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.
Uns confiam em carros e outros em cavalos, mas nós faremos menção do nome do Senhor nosso Deus.
8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
Uns encurvam-se e caem, mas nós nos levantamos e estamos de pé.
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
Salva-nos, Senhor, ouça-nos o Rei quando clamarmos.
