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:

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

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

May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

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

Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; (Selah)

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

Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy 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 triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy 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 know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength 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 make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

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

They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.

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

Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.
