Psalms 20

1 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;

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

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

May he send you help from the sanctuary and watch over you from Zion.

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

May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.

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

May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.

5 We will shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh fulfil all thy petitions.

We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.

6 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.

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

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

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

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

They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

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

O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.
