< Psalms 20 >
1 Yhwh hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you.
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
Send you help from the sanctuary, and aid you out of Sion.
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; (Selah)
Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. (Pause)
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
Grant you according to your heart, and fulfill all your desire.
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Yhwh fulfil all thy petitions.
We will exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all your petitions.
6 Now know I that Yhwh saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his 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 remember the name of Yhwh 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 brought 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, Yhwh: let the king hear us when we call.
O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon you.
