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 Leader. A Psalm of David. The LORD answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

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

Send forth thy help from the sanctuary, and support thee out of Zion;

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

Receive the memorial of all thy meal-offerings, and accept the fat of thy burnt-sacrifice; (Selah)

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

Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

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 shout for joy in thy victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our standards; the LORD 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 the LORD saveth His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the mighty acts of His saving 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 some in horses; but we will make mention of the name of the LORD 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, LORD; let the King answer us in the day that we call.
