Psalms 20

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

To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

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

He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

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

He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

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

He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

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 sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

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 have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

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

Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

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

They — they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

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

O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!
