Psalms 20

1 THE Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

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 thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

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

3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept 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 rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: 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 hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his 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 remember 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 brought 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 hear us when we call.

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