< 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,
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
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 according to thine own heart, 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 rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD 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 the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear 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 remember the name of the LORD our God.
8 They have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.
They are brought 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, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
