- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Lætabimur in salutari tuo ; et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ἀγαλλιασώμεθα ἐν τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου, καὶ ἐν ὀνόματι θεοῦ ἡμῶν μεγαλυνθησόμεθα. πληρώσαι Κύριος πάντα τὰ αἰτήματά σου.
- Hebrew (WLC) shown from Psalms 20:6
- נְרַנְּנָ֤ה בִּ֘ישׁ֤וּעָתֶ֗ךָ וּבְשֵֽׁם אֱלֹהֵ֥ינוּ נִדְגֹּ֑ל יְמַלֵּ֥א יְ֝הוָ֗ה כָּל מִשְׁאֲלוֹתֶֽיךָ
Haydock's commentary
Salvation. Jesus Christ, who gives us the victory over all our spiritual enemies, (Calmet) or in thy prosperity; (Worthington) which we shall attribute to God. The first words may also be addressed to Him. We shall rejoice if thou grant us the victory, and we will return thanks. Hebrew, "we shall praise, or be praised, for thy salvation; and in thy name we shall lift up the standard." (Calmet)
But there is no proof that nodgol, (Haydock) which occurs no where else, has this signification. It is probable that the Septuagint read nogdol; and Houbigant adopts their version. St. Jerome has, "we shall dance." All the versions denote joy. (Berthier)

The Fathers on this verse
St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm XX
6. “We will exult in Thy salvation” ( ver. 5 ). We will exult in that death will in no wise hurt Thee; for so Thou wilt also show that it cannot hurt us either. “And in the name of the Lord our God will we be magnified.” And the confession of Thy name shall not only not destroy us, but shall even magnify us.
