Psalms 20

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

in finem psalmus David exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis protegat te nomen Dei Iacob

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

mittat tibi auxilium de sancto et de Sion tueatur te

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

memor sit omnis sacrificii tui et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat diapsalma

4 May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum et omne consilium tuum confirmet

5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Yahweh grant all your requests.

laetabimur in salutari tuo et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur

6 Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus christum suum exaudiet illum de caelo sancto suo in potentatibus salus dexterae eius

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of Yahweh our God.

hii in curribus et hii in equis nos autem in nomine Domini Dei nostri invocabimus

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

ipsi obligati sunt et ceciderunt nos vero surreximus et erecti sumus

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

Domine salvum fac regem et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te
