Psalms 20
1 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].
Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Uslišio te Jahve u dan nevolje, štitilo te ime Boga Jakovljeva!
2 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].
Poslao ti pomoć iz Svetišta, branio te sa Siona!
3 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.
Spomenuo se svih ti prinosnica, bila mu mila paljenica tvoja!
4 I want him to give to you what you desire, and that you will be able to accomplish all that you desire to do.
Udijelio ti što ti srce želi, ispunio sve namisli tvoje!
5 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.
Radovali se tvojoj pobjedi, u ime Boga svoga dizali stjegove! Ispunio Jahve svaku molbu tvoju!
6 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].
Znam evo: Jahve će pobjedu dati svom pomazaniku, uslišit ga iz svetih nebesa snagom pobjedne desnice svoje.
7 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.
Jedni se hvale kolima bojnim, drugi konjima, mi imenom Jahve, Boga našega!
8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
Oni posrću i padaju, mi se držimo i stojimo.
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
Jahve, daruj pobjedu kralju, usliši nas u dan kad te zazovemo!
