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 Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

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

He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

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

He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

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

He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth 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 sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

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 have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

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

Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

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

They — they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

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

O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!
