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 of the music. A psalm of David.” May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend thee!

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

May he send thee help from his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion!

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

May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! (Pause)

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

May he grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfill all thy purposes!

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 thy protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled 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 I know that Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him 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 glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God.

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

They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect.

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

The LORD save the king! May he hear us when we call!
