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;

Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

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

May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

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

May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

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

May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

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 rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

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.

The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

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

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

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

They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are 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 the day that we shall call upon thee.
