Psalms 20

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

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.

2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

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

3 Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; (Selah)

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

4 Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

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

5 We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

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.

6 Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.

Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

7 Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

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

8 They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.

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

9 Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.

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