Psalms 20

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

in finem psalmus David exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis protegat te nomen Dei Iacob

2 May the Lord send you help from the sanctuary, and may he support you from Zion.

mittat tibi auxilium de sancto et de Sion tueatur te

3 May the Lord remember all your offerings, and accept all your burnt sacrifices. (Selah)

memor sit omnis sacrificii tui et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat diapsalma

4 May the Lord give you whatever you really want; may he make all your plans successful.

tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum et omne consilium tuum confirmet

5 May we shout for joy over your victory, and set up banners in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your requests.

laetabimur in salutari tuo et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur

6 Now I know that the Lord saves the one he has anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, and save his anointed by his powerful right hand.

impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus christum suum exaudiet illum de caelo sancto suo in potentatibus salus dexterae eius

7 Some trust in chariots and some in war horses, but we trust in who the Lord our God is.

hii in curribus et hii in equis nos autem in nomine Domini Dei nostri invocabimus

8 They collapse and fall down, but we rise and stand up.

ipsi obligati sunt et ceciderunt nos vero surreximus et erecti sumus

9 May the Lord save the king! Please answer us when we call for help!

Domine salvum fac regem et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te
