Psalms 20

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May YHWH answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up 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 will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

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

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

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

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

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

5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May YHWH grant 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 know that YHWH saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by 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 [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of YHWH our God.

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

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

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

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

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