Psalms 20

1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend thee!

The LORD hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you;

2 May he send thee help from his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion!

Send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;

3 May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! (Pause)

Remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice; (Selah)

4 May he grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfill all thy purposes!

Grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your counsel.

5 We will rejoice in thy protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled all thy petitions.

We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

6 Now I know that Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him with the saving strength of his right hand.

Now know I that the LORD saves his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Some glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

8 They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect.

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

9 The LORD save the king! May he hear us when we call!

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
