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 Melody of David. Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

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

Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;

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

Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending-sacrifice, esteem. (Selah)

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

Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

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

We will shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh 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, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

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

These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

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

They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.

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

Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.
