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,

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

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

יִשְׁלַֽח־עֶזְרְךָ מִקֹּדֶשׁ וּמִצִיּוֹן יִסְעָדֶֽךָּ׃

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

יִזְכֹּר כָּל־מִנְחֹתֶךָ וְעוֹלָתְךָ יְדַשְּׁנֶה סֶֽלָה׃

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

יִֽתֶּן־לְךָ כִלְבָבֶךָ וְֽכָל־עֲצָתְךָ יְמַלֵּֽא׃

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

הֵמָּה כָּרְעוּ וְנָפָלוּ וַאֲנַחְנוּ קַּמְנוּ וַנִּתְעוֹדָֽד׃

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

יְהוָה הוֹשִׁיעָה הַמֶּלֶךְ יַעֲנֵנוּ בְיוֹם־קָרְאֵֽנוּ׃
