Salmos 20

1 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid)

2 Hashem hear thee in the Yom Tzarah (day of trouble);

the Shem Elohei Ya’akov set thee up on high;*20:2 i.e., out of reach of your enemies

3 Send thee help from the Kodesh (Holy Sanctuary),

and strengthen thee out of Tziyon;

4 Remember all thy minchot,

and accept thy olat;

Selah.

5 Grant thee according to thine own levav,

and fulfil kol etzah (plan, counsel) of thine.

6 We will shout for joy at thy Yeshu’ah (salvation),

and in the Shem of Eloheinu we will lift up our banners;

Hashem grant all thy requests.

7 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.

8 Some trust in chariots, and some susim:

but we will trust in the Shem Hashem Eloheinu.

9 They are brought down and fallen,

but we are risen up, and stand firm.

10 Hoshi’ah, Hashem, HaMelech!

May He hear us on the day when we call.
