Psalms 20

1 Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high,

For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you.

2 send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion,

Send you help from the sanctuary, and aid you out of Sion.

3 remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice (Selah)

Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. (Pause)

4 grant thee thy heart's desire, and fulfill all thy counsel.

Grant you according to your heart, and fulfil all your desire.

5 We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. Jehovah fulfill all thy petitions.

We will exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all your petitions.

6 Now I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen, and stand upright.

They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

9 Save, Jehovah! Let the King answer us when we call.

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon you.
