Psalms 20

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The LORD answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob set thee 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 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

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

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

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

4 Grant thee thy heart’s desire, and fulfill all thy counsel.

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

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

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

6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he wilt answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of 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 will make mention of 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 are risen, 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!
