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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 saveth His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the mighty acts of His saving 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 make mention of the name of the LORD our God.

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

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

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

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

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