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 by David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

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

send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

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

remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfil all your 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 your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.

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 I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will 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 trust in 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 rise up, 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!
