Adonai-Nissi
Psalm 20
1 For the music director, a psalm of David.
2 May Adonai answer you in the day of trouble!
May the Name of the God of Jacob set you up securely on high.
3 May He send you help from the Sanctuary
and support you from Zion.
4 May He remember all your meal offerings
and accept the fat of your burnt offering. Selah
5 May He grant you your heart’s desire
and fulfill all your plans.
6 We will shout for joy in your victory
and lift up our banners in the Name of our God!
May Adonai fulfill all your petitions.
7 Now I know that Adonai saves His anointed.
He answers him from His holy heaven with saving strength of His right hand.
8 Some have chariots, some have horses,
but we remember the Name of Adonai our God.
9 They have collapsed and fallen,
but we rise up and support each other.
10 Adonai, save the king!
Answer us on the day we call!
2 Adonai, I have heard the report about You
and I have come to fear.
Adonai, revive Your work throughout the years,
throughout the years make it known,
In wrath remember compassion.
3 God comes from Teman,
and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah
His majesty covers the heavens,
and His praise fills the earth.
4 With brilliance like light,
rays emanate from His hand.
There His power was hidden.
5 Pestilence goes before Him,
a fiery bolt goes forth at His feet.
6 He stood, and the earth shook.
He looked, and startled nations.
Ancient mountains were shattered,
hills of antiquity sank down.
His ways are everlasting.
7 I saw tents of Cushan under calamity.
The curtains of the land of Midian are trembling.
8 Adonai, is your wrath against rivers?
Or Your anger at the rivers?
Or is Your fury with the sea?
For You ride on Your horses,
Your chariots of salvation!
9 Your bow is laid bare.
Sworn are rods—a decree. Selah
You cleave the land with rivers.
10 The mountains saw You and writhe.
A downpour of water overflows.
The deep gives its voice—
it lifts up hands high.
11 Sun and moon, stand in lofty abode.
At the flash of Your arrows they go,
at the radiance of the lightning of Your spear.
12 With indignation You pace the land.
With anger You thresh nations.
13 You went out for the salvation of Your people—
for the deliverance of Your anointed one.[a]
You shatter the head of the house of the wicked—
to lay it bare from foundation up to the top. Selah
14 You have pierced his chief rulers with his own staff—
They stormed in to scatter me.
Their exultation is like devouring the weak in secret.
15 You marched forth,
Your horses in the sea—much water foaming.
31 Then Yeshua took the twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we’re going up to Jerusalem, and everything written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be carried out. 32 He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and He will be mocked and insulted and spat upon. 33 After they have scourged Him, they will kill Him. Yet on the third day, He will rise again.” 34 But they understood none of these things; this message was hidden from them, and they did not understand what He was saying.
