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

Yhwh hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

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

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

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

Remember all thy offerings, and accept 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 rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Yhwh 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 Yhwh saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his 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 remember the name of Yhwh our God.

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

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

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

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