For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble;
The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;
Send thee help from the sanctuary,
And {Or, support}strengthen thee out of Zion;
Remember all thy {Or, meal-offerings}offerings,
And {Hebrew: accept as fat.}accept thy burnt-sacrifice;
[Selah.
Grant thee thy heart's desire,
And fulfil all thy counsel.
We will triumph in thy {Or, victory}salvation,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners:
Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.
Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed;
He will answer him from his holy heaven
With the saving strength of his right hand.
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;
But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.
They are bowed down and fallen;
But we are risen, and stand upright.
Save, Jehovah:
Let the King answer us when we call.
Querverweise zu Psalm 20,8 Ps 20,8
Evil shall slay the wicked;And they that hate the righteous shall be {Or, held guilty}condemned.
A Song of Ascents.They that trust in JehovahAre as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.
Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants;And none of them that take refuge in him shall be {Or, held guilty}condemned.
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:
Who made heaven and earth,The sea, and all that in them is;Who keepeth truth for ever;
Who executeth justice for the oppressed;Who giveth food to the hungry.Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind;Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down;Jehovah loveth the righteous;
Jehovah preserveth the sojourners;He upholdeth the fatherless and widow;But the way of the wicked he {Or, maketh crooked}turneth upside down.
So let all thine enemies perish, O Jehovah:But let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might.And the land had rest forty years.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not {According to another reading, see.}fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
