اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 20

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ لِيَسْتَجِبْ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلضِّيقِ. لِيَرْفَعْكَ ٱسْمُ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ.

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].

٢ 2 لِيُرْسِلْ لَكَ عَوْنًا مِنْ قُدْسِهِ، وَمِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ لِيَعْضُدْكَ.

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].

٣ 3 لِيَذْكُرْ كُلَّ تَقْدِمَاتِكَ، وَيَسْتَسْمِنْ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ. سِلَاهْ.

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.

٤ 4 لِيُعْطِكَ حَسَبَ قَلْبِكَ، وَيُتَمِّمْ كُلَّ رَأْيِكَ.

I want him to give to you what you desire, and that you will be able to accomplish all that you desire to do.

٥ 5 نَتَرَنَّمُ بِخَلَاصِكَ، وَبِٱسْمِ إِلَهِنَا نَرْفَعُ رَايَتَنَا. لِيُكَمِّلِ ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ سُؤْلِكَ.

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.

٦ 6 اَلْآنَ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مُخَلِّصُ مَسِيحِهِ، يَسْتَجِيبُهُ مِنْ سَمَاءِ قُدْسِهِ، بِجَبَرُوتِ خَلَاصِ يَمِينِهِ.

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].

٧ 7 هَؤُلَاءِ بِٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَهَؤُلَاءِ بِٱلْخَيْلِ، أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا نَذْكُرُ.

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.

٨ 8 هُمْ جَثَوْا وَسَقَطُوا، أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَقُمْنَا وَٱنْتَصَبْنَا.

Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).

٩ 9 يَا رَبُّ خَلِّصْ! لِيَسْتَجِبْ لَنَا ٱلْمَلِكُ فِي يَوْمِ دُعَائِنَا!

Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
