Psalms 20

1 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.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH answers you, In a day of adversity, The Name of the God of Jacob sets you on high,

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

He sends your help from the sanctuary, And supports you from Zion,

3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice. (Selah)

He remembers all your presents, And reduces your burnt-offering to ashes. (Selah)

4 Grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel.

He gives to you according to your heart, And fulfills all your counsel.

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

We sing of Your salvation, And in the Name of our God set up a banner. YHWH fulfills all your requests.

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

Now I have known That YHWH has saved His anointed, He answers him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the Name of our God YHWH Make mention.

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

They have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

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

O YHWH, save the king, He answers us in the day we call!
