Psalms 20

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.

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 aid thee out of Sion.

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

3 Remember all thy sacrifice, and enrich thy whole-burnt-offering. (Pause)

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

4 Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfill all thy desire.

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

5 We will exult in thy salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil 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 the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

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 [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

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

8 They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

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

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

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