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!

in finem psalmus David exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis protegat te nomen Dei Iacob

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

mittat tibi auxilium de sancto et de Sion tueatur te

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

memor sit omnis sacrificii tui et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat diapsalma

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

tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum et omne consilium tuum confirmet

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.

laetabimur in salutari tuo et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur

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.

impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus christum suum exaudiet illum de caelo sancto suo in potentatibus salus dexterae eius

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

hii in curribus et hii in equis nos autem in nomine Domini Dei nostri invocabimus

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

ipsi obligati sunt et ceciderunt nos vero surreximus et erecti sumus

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

Domine salvum fac regem et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te
