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;

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;

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 thy heart’s desire, and fulfill 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 triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill 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 wilt answer 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 make mention of the name of the LORD our God.

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

They are bowed 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 answer us when we call.
