< 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.
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and aid thee out of Sion.
3 Remember all thy sacrifice, and enrich thy whole-burnt-offering. (Pause)
4 Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfill all thy desire.
5 We will exult in thy salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
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.
7 Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.
9 O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon thee.
