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;

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

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

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

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

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

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

Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

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 thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

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.

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

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 remember the name of the LORD our God.

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

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

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

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