The Key Word — נְרַנְּנָ֤ה, ne.ra.ne.Nahgenerated
The verb נְרַנְּנָ֤ה (ne.ra.ne.Nah) is a Piel infinitive construct meaning 'we will shout for joy.' It conveys a sense of triumph and vocal celebration, often in response to God's deliverance. This word is used to express a loud and joyful proclamation, emphasizing the emotional and communal aspect of worship.
The root of this verb relates to the idea of overcoming, suggesting that joy is a response to victory over adversity. In this context, it reflects the people's exuberance at God's salvation and their collective hope for His continued assistance.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is presented in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses the phrase shout for joy and raise a banner.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse contains two main verbs: נְרַנְּנָ֤ה (we will shout for joy) and נִדְגֹּ֑ל (we will raise a banner), which govern the actions of the subjects. The structure emphasizes the communal nature of the prayer, with the verbs leading the expressions of joy and action.
The syntax highlights the relationship between the actions of shouting for joy and raising a banner, both of which are linked to the name of God, underscoring the theme of divine support in victory.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew נְרַנְּנָ֤ה is rendered as δῴη (dōiē), which suggests a broader interpretation of divine granting or bestowing joy. This choice reflects the translators' emphasis on God's role in providing joy and victory.
The Greek word for נִדְגֹּ֑ל is not directly matched, indicating a potential interpretative shift in how the act of raising a banner is understood in the Greek tradition.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) of Psalms 20:5 reads: 'May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.' The Septuagint (LXX) has a word-by-word correspondence with the MT, but it does not provide a complete translation of the verse, and therefore the exact wording and structure differ. The LXX captures the essence of the MT but lacks a full alignment in terms of phrasing. There are no surviving texts from the Samaritan Pentateuch or the Dead Sea Scrolls that provide additional variants for this verse, so the MT remains the primary witness for this passage.
נְרַנְּנָ֤ה׀ בִּ֘ישׁ֤וּעָתֶ֗ךָ וּבְשֵֽׁם־ אֱלֹהֵ֥ינוּ נִדְגֹּ֑ל יְמַלֵּ֥א יְ֝הוָ֗ה כָּל־ מִשְׁאֲלוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

joi (simchah; chara):
1. Terms:
The idea of joy is expressed in the Old Testament by a wealth of synonymous terms that cannot easily be differentiated. The commonest is simchah (1Sa 18:6, etc.), variously translated in English Versions of the Bible "joy," "gladness," "mirth"; from sameah, properly "to be bright," "to shine" (Pr 13:9, "The light of the righteous rejoiceth," literally, "is bright"), but generally used figuratively "to rejoice," "be glad" (Le 23:40 and very frequent).
Other nouns are masos and sason, both from sus, properly "to spring," "leap," hence, "exult," "rejoice"; rinnah, "shouting." "joy"; gil, from verb gil or gul, "to go in a circle," hence, "be excited" (dancing round for joy), "rejoice." In the New…

HC/R/Ncmsc — Conjunction · preposition · noun common masculine singular constructHC/R/Ncmsc
ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.

The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

ban'-er (ENSIGN, STANDARDS): The English word "banner" is from banderia, Low Latin, meaning a banner (compare bandum, Latin, which meant first a "band," an organized military troop, and then a "flag"). It has come to mean a flag, or standard, carried at the head of a military band or body, to indicate the line of march, or the rallying point, and it is now applied, in its more extended significance, to royal, national, or ecclesiastical "banners" also. We find it applied sometimes to a streamer on the end of a lance, such as is used by the Arab sheik today. "Banner" occurs in the following significant Old Testament passages:
(1) in the singular, "Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain" (Isa 13:2 the King James Version); "a banner to them that fear thee" (Ps 60:4); and
Banner
(1.) The flag or banner of the larger kind, serving for three tribes marching together. These standards, of which there were four, were worked with embroidery and beautifully ornamented (Num. 1:52; 2:2, 3, 10, 18, 25; Cant. 2:4; 6:4, 10).
(2.) The flag borne by each separate tribe, of a smaller form. Probably it bore on it the name of the tribe to which it belonged, or some distinguishing device (Num. 2:2,34).

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

יהוה is not used by E in Gn, but is given Ex 3:12-15 as the name of the God who revealed Himself to Moses at Horeb
יהוה is used with אלהים and suffixes, especially in D
the phrase † אֲנִי יהוה is noteworthy
