Psalms 20

1 Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high,

לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃ יַֽעַנְךָ֣ יְ֭הוָה בְּיֹ֣ום צָרָ֑ה יְ֝שַׂגֶּבְךָ֗ שֵׁ֤ם ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֬י יַעֲקֹֽב׃

2 send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion,

יִשְׁלַֽח־עֶזְרְךָ֥ מִקֹּ֑דֶשׁ וּ֝מִצִּיֹּ֗ון יִסְעָדֶֽךָּ׃

3 remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice (Selah)

יִזְכֹּ֥ר כָּל־מִנְחֹתֶ֑ךָ וְעֹולָתְךָ֖ יְדַשְּׁנֶ֣ה סֶֽלָה׃

4 grant thee thy heart's desire, and fulfill all thy counsel.

יִֽתֶּן־לְךָ֥ כִלְבָבֶ֑ךָ וְֽכָל־עֲצָתְךָ֥ יְמַלֵּֽא׃

5 We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. Jehovah fulfill all thy petitions.

נְרַנְּנָ֤ה ׀ בִּ֘ישׁ֤וּעָתֶ֗ךָ וּבְשֵֽׁם־אֱלֹהֵ֥ינוּ נִדְגֹּ֑ל יְמַלֵּ֥א יְ֝הוָ֗ה כָּל־מִשְׁאֲלֹותֶֽיךָ׃

6 Now I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

עַתָּ֤ה יָדַ֗עְתִּי כִּ֤י הֹושִׁ֥יעַ ׀ יְהוָ֗ה מְשִׁ֫יחֹ֥ו יַ֭עֲנֵהוּ מִשְּׁמֵ֣י קָדְשֹׁ֑ו בִּ֝גְבֻרֹ֗ות יֵ֣שַׁע יְמִינֹֽו׃

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

אֵ֣לֶּה בָ֭רֶכֶב וְאֵ֣לֶּה בַסּוּסִ֑ים וַאֲנַ֓חְנוּ ׀ בְּשֵׁם־יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣ינוּ נַזְכִּֽיר׃

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen, and stand upright.

הֵ֭מָּה כָּרְע֣וּ וְנָפָ֑לוּ וַאֲנַ֥חְנוּ קַּ֝֗מְנוּ וַנִּתְעֹודָֽד׃

9 Save, Jehovah! Let the King answer us when we call.

יְהוָ֥ה הֹושִׁ֑יעָה הַ֝מֶּ֗לֶךְ יַעֲנֵ֥נוּ בְיֹום־קָרְאֵֽנוּ׃
