< Psalms 20 >
1 May Adonai answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob [Supplanter] set you up on high,
2 send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking],
3 remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
4 May He grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.
5 We will triumph in your yishu'ah ·salvation·. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Adonai grant all your requests.
6 Now I know that Adonai saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the yesha' ·saving· strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God].
8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.
9 Save, Adonai! Let the King answer us when we call!
