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 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 defend thee out of Sion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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