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 Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

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

He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

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

He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

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 your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.

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 will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by 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 some in horses, but we trust 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 rise up, and stand upright.

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

Save, LORD. Let the King answer us when we call.
