Psalms 20

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The Lord heare thee in the day of trouble: the name of ye God of Iaakob defend thee:

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

2 Send thee helpe from the Sanctuarie, and strengthen thee out of Zion.

May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

3 Let him remember all thine offerings, and turne thy burnt offerings into asshes. (Selah)

May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

4 And graunt thee according to thine heart, and fulfill all thy purpose:

May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

5 That we may reioyce in thy saluation, and set vp the banner in the Name of our God, when the Lord shall performe all thy petitions.

May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

6 Now know I that the Lord will helpe his anointed, and will heare him from his Sanctuarie, by the mightie helpe of his right hand.

Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the Name of ye Lord our God.

Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

8 They are brought downe and fallen, but we are risen, and stand vpright.

They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

9 Saue Lord: let the King heare vs in the day that we call.

O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.
