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 diapsalma

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.

laetabimur 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 caelo sancto suo in potentatibus salus dexterae eius

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

hii in curribus et hii 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 vero 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
