ગીતશાસ્ત્ર 20
1 ૧ મુખ્ય ગવૈયાને માટે. દાઉદનું ગીત. સંકટના સમયે યહોવાહ તારી મદદ કરો; યાકૂબના ઈશ્વરનું નામ તારું રક્ષણ કરો.
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].
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].
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.
I want him to give to you what you desire, and that you will be able to accomplish all that you desire to do.
5 ૫ તારા ઉદ્ધારમાં અમે આનંદ માનીશું અને આપણા ઈશ્વરને નામે આપણી ધ્વજાઓ ચઢાવીશું. યહોવાહ તારી સર્વ અરજો સ્વીકારો.
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.
6 ૬ હવે હું જાણું છું કે યહોવાહ પોતાના અભિષિક્તને બચાવે છે; તે પોતાના પવિત્ર આકાશમાંથી પોતાના જમણા હાથની તારકશક્તિથી તેને જવાબ આપશે.
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].
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.
Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
