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.

4 Patganna koma ti tarigagay ta pusom ken tungpalenna koma dagiti amin a panggepmo.

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 Ket agrag-okaminto iti panagballigim, ken, iti nagan ti Diostayo, itag-ayminto dagiti bandera. Patgan koma ni Yahweh dagiti amin a dawdawatmo.

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.

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.]
