psalms (Tehillim) chapter 20​

For the Conductor, a psalm by David. May the Lord answer you on the day of distress; may the Name of the God of Jacob fortify you. May He send your help from the Sanctuary, and support you from Zion. May He remember all your offerings, and always accept favourably your sacrifices. May He grant you your heart's desire, and fulfil your every counsel. We will rejoice in your deliverance, and raise our banners in the name of our God; may the Lord fulfil all your wishes. Now I know that the Lord has delivered His anointed one, answering him from His holy heavens with the mighty saving power of His right hand. Some [rely] upon chariots and some upon horses, but we [rely upon and] invoke the Name of the Lord our God. They bend and fall, but we rise and stand firm. Lord, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

In the original Hebrew:​​​​

  לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד׃

יַעַנְךָ יְהֹוָה בְּיוֹם צָרָה יְשַׂגֶּבְךָ שֵׁם  אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב׃

יִשְׁלַח־עֶזְרְךָ מִקֹּדֶשׁ וּמִצִּיּוֹן יִסְעָדֶךָּ׃

יִזְכֹּר כׇּל־מִנְחֹתֶךָ וְעוֹלָתְךָ יְדַשְּׁנֶה סֶלָה׃

יִתֶּן־לְךָ כִלְבָבֶךָ וְכׇל־עֲצָתְךָ יְמַלֵּא׃

נְרַנְּנָה  בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ וּבְשֵׁם־אֱלֹהֵינוּ נִדְגֹּל יְמַלֵּא יְהֹוָה כׇּל־מִשְׁאֲלוֹתֶיךָ׃

עַתָּה יָדַעְתִּי כִּי הוֹשִׁיעַ  יְהֹוָה מְשִׁיחוֹ יַעֲנֵהוּ מִשְּׁמֵי קׇדְשׁוֹ בִּגְבֻרוֹת יֵשַׁע יְמִינוֹ׃

אֵלֶּה בָרֶכֶב וְאֵלֶּה בַסּוּסִים וַאֲנַחְנוּ  בְּשֵׁם־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ נַזְכִּיר׃

הֵמָּה כָּרְעוּ וְנָפָלוּ וַאֲנַחְנוּ קַּמְנוּ וַנִּתְעוֹדָד׃

יְהֹוָה הוֹשִׁיעָה הַמֶּלֶךְ יַעֲנֵנוּ בְיוֹם־קׇרְאֵנוּ׃
