< Psalms 20 >

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;
2 He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,
Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion;
3 He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)
Remember all thy offerings, And accept thy burnt-sacrifice; (Selah)
4 He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.
Grant thee thy heart’s desire, And fulfil all thy counsel.
5 We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.
We will triumph in thy salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.
6 Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.
Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; He will answer him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.
Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.
8 They — they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.
They are bowed down and fallen; But we are risen, and stand upright.
9 O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!
Save, Jehovah: Let the King answer us when we call.
