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 Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

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

He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

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

He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

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 will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant 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 know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by 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 some in horses, but we trust the name of the LORD our God.

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

They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

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

Save, LORD. Let the King answer us when we call.
