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,

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

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

May he send you help from the sanctuary and watch over you from Zion.

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

May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.

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

May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.

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 rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.

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.

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

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 call upon the name of the Lord our God.

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

They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we 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 on the day that we will call upon you.
