Psalms 20
Below each verse in the original comes an approximate reading, in italics, for anyone who wants to pronounce the text aloud. It is not academic transliteration: it does not mark stress or settle the cases that depend on grammatical analysis, and the four-letter Name is read “Yahweh”, by the founder’s decision — the Hebrew pointing instructs saying “Adonai”, and Portuguese Bibles render it “SENHOR”.
The numbering differs in this chapter. The original has a different number of verses from the Portuguese — this happens in 134 of the 1,189 chapters, mostly in the Psalms, because the Hebrew superscription (“A psalm of David”) is counted as verse 1. That is why the two texts appear separately, each with its own numbering, instead of paired: pairing here would put a verse next to the wrong one.
1Salmo de Davi, para o regente: Que o SENHOR te responda no dia da angústia; o nome do Deus de Jacó te ponha em lugar seguro.
2Que ele envie a ti ajuda desde [seu] santuário; e desde Sião ele te sustenha.
3Que ele se lembre de todas as tuas ofertas, e aceite os teus holocaustos. (Selá)
4Que ele de a ti conforme o teu coração, e faça cumprir todo o teu propósito.
5Nós alegraremos muito por tua salvação, e no nome do nosso Deus levantaremos bandeiras; que o SENHOR cumpra todos os teus pedidos.
6Agora eu sei que o SENHOR salva a seu ungido; desde os céus de sua santidade ele lhe responderá, com o poder salvador de sua mão direita.
7Alguns confiam em carruagens, e outros em cavalos; mas nós nos lembraremos do nome do SENHOR nosso Deus.
8Eles se encurvam, e caem; mas nós nos levantamos, e ficamos em pé.
9Salva [-nos] ,SENHOR! Que o Rei nos ouça no dia de nosso clamor.
