Psalms 20

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ יַֽעַנְךָ יְהוָה בְּיוֹם צָרָה יְשַׂגֶּבְךָ שֵׁם ׀ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃

2 May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

יִשְׁלַֽח־עֶזְרְךָ מִקֹּדֶשׁ וּמִצִיּוֹן יִסְעָדֶֽךָּ׃

3 May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

יִזְכֹּר כָּל־מִנְחֹתֶךָ וְעוֹלָתְךָ יְדַשְּׁנֶה סֶֽלָה׃

4 May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

יִֽתֶּן־לְךָ כִלְבָבֶךָ וְֽכָל־עֲצָתְךָ יְמַלֵּֽא׃

5 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.

נְרַנְּנָה ׀ בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ וּבְשֵֽׁם־אֱלֹהֵינוּ נִדְגֹּל יְמַלֵּא יְהוָה כָּל־מִשְׁאֲלוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

עַתָּה יָדַעְתִּי כִּי הוֹשִׁיעַ ׀ יְהוָה מְשִׁיחוֹ יַעֲנֵהוּ מִשְּׁמֵי קָדְשׁוֹ בִּגְבֻרוֹת יֵשַׁע יְמִינֽוֹ׃

7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

אֵלֶּה בָרֶכֶב וְאֵלֶּה בַסּוּסִים וַאֲנַחְנוּ ׀ בְּשֵׁם־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ נַזְכִּֽיר׃

8 They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

הֵמָּה כָּרְעוּ וְנָפָלוּ וַאֲנַחְנוּ קַּמְנוּ וַנִּתְעוֹדָֽד׃

9 O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.

יְהוָה הוֹשִׁיעָה הַמֶּלֶךְ יַעֲנֵנוּ בְיוֹם־קָרְאֵֽנוּ׃
