Psalms 20

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

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

2 He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

יִשְׁלַֽח־עֶזְרְךָ֥ מִקֹּ֑דֶשׁ וּ֝מִצִּיֹּ֗ון יִסְעָדֶֽךָּ׃

3 He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

יִזְכֹּ֥ר כָּל־מִנְחֹתֶ֑ךָ וְעֹולָתְךָ֖ יְדַשְּׁנֶ֣ה סֶֽלָה׃

4 He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

יִֽתֶּן־לְךָ֥ כִלְבָבֶ֑ךָ וְֽכָל־עֲצָתְךָ֥ יְמַלֵּֽא׃

5 We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

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

6 Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

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

7 Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

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

8 They — they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

הֵ֭מָּה כָּרְע֣וּ וְנָפָ֑לוּ וַאֲנַ֥חְנוּ קַּ֝֗מְנוּ וַנִּתְעֹודָֽד׃

9 O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!

יְהוָ֥ה הֹושִׁ֑יעָה הַ֝מֶּ֗לֶךְ יַעֲנֵ֥נוּ בְיֹום־קָרְאֵֽנוּ׃
