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].

Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Usliši te naj Gospod ob času stiske; na višavo naj te postavi ime Boga Jakobovega.

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].

Pošlje naj ti pomoč iz svetišča, in sè Sijona naj te podpira.

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.

Dúha naj vse dari tvoje, in upepeli naj žgalno daritev tvojo.

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.

Dá ti naj po srci tvojem, in izpolni naj vsak sklep tvoj.

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.

Prepevajmo o blaginji tvoji; in v imenu Boga našega nosimo zastave; izpolni naj Gospod vse prošnje tvoje.

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].

Zdaj spoznavam, da Gospod brani maziljenca svojega, usliši ga z nebes svetosti svoje; po največji kreposti, blaginji desnice svoje.

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.

Ti vóz, in oni kónj, mi pa se spominjamo imena Gospoda, Boga našega.

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

Oni se pripogibajo in padajo; mi pa vstajamo in stojimo.

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

Gospod, reši! kralj sam naj usliši nas ob času, ko ga bodemo klicali.
