Psalms 20

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

The LORD hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you;

2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and watch over you from Zion.

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

3 May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.

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

4 May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.

Grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your counsel.

5 We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.

We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

6 May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

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

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

8 They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

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

9 O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.

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