Psalms 20

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. May Yahweh help you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you

For the Leader. 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 and send help from the holy place to support you from Zion.

Send forth thy help from the sanctuary, and support thee out of Zion;

3 May he call to mind all your offerings and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

Receive the memorial of all thy meal-offerings, and accept the fat of thy burnt-sacrifice; (Selah)

4 May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans.

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

5 Then we will rejoice in your victory, and, in the name of our God, we will raise banners. May Yahweh grant all your petitions.

We will shout for joy in thy victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our standards; the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

6 Now I know that Yahweh will rescue his anointed one; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the strength of his right hand that can rescue him.

Now know I that the LORD saveth His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the mighty acts of His saving right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we call on Yahweh our God.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will make mention of the name of the LORD our God.

8 They will be brought down and fall, but we will rise and stand upright!

They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen, and stand upright.

9 Yahweh, rescue the king; help us when we call.

Save, LORD; let the King answer us in the day that we call.
