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 by David.] May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

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

He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

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

He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

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 your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.

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 will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by 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 trust the name of the LORD 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 rise up, and stand upright.

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

Save, LORD. Let the King answer us when we call.
