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;

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH answers you, In a day of adversity, The Name of the God of Jacob sets you on high,

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

He sends your help from the sanctuary, And supports you from Zion,

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

He remembers all your presents, And reduces your burnt-offering to ashes. (Selah)

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

He gives to you according to your heart, And fulfills all your counsel.

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!

We sing of Your salvation, And in the Name of our God set up a banner. YHWH fulfills all your requests.

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 have known That YHWH has saved His anointed, He answers him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

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

Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the Name of our God YHWH Make mention.

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

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

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

O YHWH, save the king, He answers us in the day we call!
