  • The verb save (הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי) "denotes the bringing of assistance to someone in need, whether in military, civil or judicial contexts. It may also denote the actual saving of someone in battle or in history in general" (SAHD, so SDBH). It is the action that brings about a state of יְשׁוּעָה ("victory," cf. vv. 3, 9).
