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 choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

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

May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

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

May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

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

May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

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

May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your 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 I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power 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 others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

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

They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

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

O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.
