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:

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. 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 watch over you from Zion.

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

May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.

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

May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.

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.

We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.

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.

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

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

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

They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

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

O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.
