Psalms 20

1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

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;

2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

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

3 May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

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

4 May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

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

5 We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

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

6 The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

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.

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

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

8 They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

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

9 O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.

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