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 Melody of David. Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

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

Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;

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

Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending-sacrifice, esteem. (Selah)

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

Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

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

We will shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh 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, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

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

These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

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

They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.

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

Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.
