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;*
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.
* 20:2 i.e., out of reach of your enemies
