Psalms 20

1 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;

For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.

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

Send thee help from the sanctuary, and aid thee out of Sion.

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

Remember all thy sacrifice, and enrich thy whole-burnt-offering. (Pause)

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

Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfill all thy desire.

5 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.

We will exult in thy salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

6 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.

Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will make mention of the name of the LORD our God.

Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

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

They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

9 Save, LORD; let the King answer us in the day that we call.

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon thee.
