Psalmi 20
1 Da te usliši Gospod u dan žalosti, da te zaštiti ime Boga Jakovljeva.
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 Da ti pošlje pomoæ iz svetinje, i sa Siona da te potkrijepi.
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 Da se opomene svijeh prinosa tvojijeh, i žrtva tvoja paljenica da se naðe pretila.
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 Da ti da Gospod po srcu tvojemu; što god poèneš, da ti izvrši.
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 Radovaæemo se za spasenje tvoje, i u ime Boga svojega dignuæemo zastavu. Da ispuni Gospod sve molbe tvoje.
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 Sad vidim da Gospod èuva pomazanika svojega; sluša ga sa svetoga neba svojega; jaka je desnica njegova, koja spasava.
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 Jedni se hvale kolima, drugi konjma, a mi imenom Gospoda Boga svojega.
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 Oni posræu i padaju, a mi stojimo i ne kolebamo se.
Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
9 Gospode! pomozi caru, i usliši nas kad te zovemo.
Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
