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.

YHWH hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the Elohim of Jacob defend thee;

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

Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

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

Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; (Selah)

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

Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

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 Elohim we will set up our banners: YHWH fulfil all thy petitions.

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.

Now know I that YHWH saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

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 remember the name of YHWH our Elohim.

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

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

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

Save, YHWH: let the king hear us when we call.
