< 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 of David. May Yahweh help 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,
and send help from the holy place to support you from Zion.
3 He remembers all your presents, And reduces your burnt-offering to ashes. (Selah)
May he call to mind all your offerings and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)
4 He gives to you according to your heart, And fulfills all your counsel.
May he 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.
Then we will rejoice in your victory, and, in the name of our God, we will raise banners. May Yahweh 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 Yahweh will rescue his anointed one; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the strength of his right hand that can rescue him.
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 call on Yahweh our God.
8 They have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.
They will be brought down and fall, but we will rise and stand upright!
9 O YHWH, save the king, He answers us in the day we call!
Yahweh, rescue the king; help us when we call.
