Psalms 20

1 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,

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

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

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

3 remember 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 fulfil all your counsel.

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

5 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.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

6 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.

Now know I that the Lord 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 some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

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

9 Save, LORD! Let the King answer us when we call!

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