Psalms 20

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH answers you, In a day of adversity, The Name of the God of Jacob sets you on high,

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

2 He sends your help from the sanctuary, And supports you from Zion,

Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion;

3 He remembers all your presents, And reduces your burnt-offering to ashes. (Selah)

Remember all thy offerings, And accept thy burnt-sacrifice; (Selah)

4 He gives to you according to your heart, And fulfills all your counsel.

Grant thee thy heart’s desire, And fulfil all thy counsel.

5 We sing of Your salvation, And in the Name of our God set up a banner. YHWH fulfills all your requests.

We will triumph in thy salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.

6 Now I have known That YHWH has saved His anointed, He answers him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; He will answer him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the Name of our God YHWH Make mention.

Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

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

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

9 O YHWH, save the king, He answers us in the day we call!

Save, Jehovah: Let the King answer us when we call.
