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].
Que l'Éternel te réponde au jour de la détresse; que le nom du Dieu de Jacob te mette en une haute retraite!
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].
Qu'il t'envoie son secours du saint lieu, et qu'il te soutienne de Sion!
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.
Qu'il se souvienne de toutes tes offrandes et qu'il ait pour agréable ton holocauste! (Sélah, pause)
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.
Qu'il t'accorde le désir de ton cœur, et qu'il accomplisse tous tes desseins!
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.
Nous triompherons de ta délivrance, et nous élèverons l'étendard au nom de notre Dieu; l'Éternel accomplira toutes tes demandes.
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].
Déjà je sais que l'Éternel a délivré son Oint; il lui répondra des cieux de sa sainteté, par le secours puissant de sa droite.
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.
Les uns se vantent de leurs chars, et les autres de leurs chevaux; mais nous, du nom de l'Éternel, notre Dieu.
8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
Ils ont plié et sont tombés, mais nous nous sommes relevés et affermis.
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
Éternel, sauve le roi! Exauce-nous au jour où nous t'invoquons!
