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. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

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

He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

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

He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

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

He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

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 thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy 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 Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth 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 Jehovah our God Make mention.

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

They — 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 Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!
