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].
Para el músico principal. Un salmo de David. Que Yahvé te responda en el día de la angustia. Que el nombre del Dios de Jacob te ponga en alto,
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].
te envía ayuda desde el santuario, te conceda el apoyo de Sión,
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.
recuerda todas sus ofrendas, y aceptar tu sacrificio quemado. (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.
Que te conceda el deseo de tu corazón, y cumplir todos tus consejos.
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.
Triunfaremos en tu salvación. En el nombre de nuestro Dios, levantaremos nuestras banderas. Que Yahvé te conceda todas tus peticiones.
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].
Ahora sé que Yahvé salva a su ungido. Él le responderá desde su santo cielo, con la fuerza salvadora de su mano derecha.
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.
Algunos confían en los carros y otros en los caballos, pero confiamos en el nombre de Yahvé, nuestro Dios.
8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
Se inclinan y caen, pero nos levantamos y nos ponemos de pie.
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
¡Salva, Yahvé! ¡Que el Rey nos responda cuando llamamos!
