Tehillim 20
Orthodox Jewish Bible
20 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid) Hashem hear thee in the Yom Tzarah (day of trouble); the Shem Elohei Ya’akov set thee up on high [i.e., out of reach of your enemies];
2 Send thee help from the Kodesh (Holy Sanctuary), and strengthen thee out of Tziyon;
3 Remember all thy minchot, and accept thy olat; Selah.
4 Grant thee according to thine own levav, and fulfil kol etzah (plan, counsel) of thine.
5 We will shout for joy at thy Yeshuah (salvation), and in the Shem of Eloheinu we will lift up our banners; Hashem grant all thy requests.
6 Now I have da’as that Hashem hoshi’a (He saves) His Moshiach; He will answer him from His Sh’mei Kodesh (Holy Heaven) with the saving strength of His right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some susim: but we will trust in the Shem Hashem Eloheinu.
8 They are brought down and fallen, but we are risen up, and stand firm.
9 Hoshi’ah, Hashem, HaMelech! May He hear us on the day when we call.
