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 Melody of David. Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

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

Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;

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

Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending-sacrifice, esteem. (Selah)

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

Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

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 aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh 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, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the Name of ye Lord our God.

These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

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

They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.

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

Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.
