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,

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

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

May he 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 thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; (Selah)

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

Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy 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 triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we 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 answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, 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 make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we 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 in the day we call.
