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,

Psalmus David, in finem. 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 burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui: et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat.

4 May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfil 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 the LORD grant all your requests.

Laetabimur in salutari tuo: et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur.

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.

Impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas: nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus CHRISTUM suum. Exaudiat 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 the LORD our God.

Hi in curribus, et hi 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 autem surreximus et erecti sumus.

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

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