Psalms 20

1 [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.

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 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.

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

6 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.

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.

7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of the LORD our God.

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

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

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

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

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