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 end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you.

2 He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

Send you help from the sanctuary, and aid you out of Sion.

3 He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. (Pause)

4 He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

Grant you according to your heart, and fulfil all your desire.

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 exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all your 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 I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

7 Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

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

They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

9 O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon you.
