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,

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

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

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

May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

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

May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

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

We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

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.

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 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 call upon the name of the Lord our God.

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

They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

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

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