Salmos 20
1 Salmo de Davi, para o regente: Que o SENHOR te responda no dia da angústia; o nome do Deus de Jacó te ponha em lugar seguro.
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].
2 Que ele envie a ti ajuda desde [seu] santuário; e desde Sião ele te sustenha.
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].
3 Que ele se lembre de todas as tuas ofertas, e aceite os teus holocaustos. (Selá)
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 Que ele de a ti conforme o teu coração, e faça cumprir todo o teu propósito.
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 Nós alegraremos muito por tua salvação, e no nome do nosso Deus levantaremos bandeiras; que o SENHOR cumpra todos os teus pedidos.
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 Agora eu sei que o SENHOR salva a seu ungido; desde os céus de sua santidade ele lhe responderá, com o poder salvador de sua mão direita.
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].
7 Alguns confiam em carruagens, e outros em cavalos; mas nós nos lembraremos do nome do SENHOR nosso Deus.
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.
8 Eles se encurvam, e caem; mas nós nos levantamos, e ficamos em pé.
Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
9 Salva [-nos], SENHOR! Que o Rei nos ouça no dia de nosso clamor.
Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
