Psalms 20

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

2 May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

3 May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

4 May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

5 May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

8 They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

9 O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
