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.

In finem, Psalmus David. Exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis: protegat te nomen Dei Iacob.

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

Mittat tibi auxilium de sancto: et de Sion tueatur te.

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

Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui: et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat.

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

Tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum: et omne consilium tuum confirmet.

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.

Lætabimur in salutari tuo: et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur.

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.

Impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas: nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus CHRISTUM suum. Exaudiet illum de cælo sancto suo: in potentatibus salus dexteræ eius.

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

Hi in curribus, et hi in equis: nos autem in nomine Domini Dei nostri invocabimus.

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

Ipsi obligati sunt, et ceciderunt: nos autem surreximus et erecti sumus.

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

Domine salvum fac regem: et exaudi nos in die, qua invocaverimus te.
