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 him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The Lord heare thee in the day of trouble: the name of ye God of Iaakob defend thee:

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

Send thee helpe from the Sanctuarie, and strengthen thee out of Zion.

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

Let him remember all thine offerings, and turne thy burnt offerings into asshes. (Selah)

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

And graunt thee according to thine heart, and fulfill all thy purpose:

5 We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

That we may reioyce in thy saluation, and set vp the banner in the Name of our God, when the Lord shall performe 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 the Lord will helpe his anointed, and will heare him from his Sanctuarie, by the mightie helpe 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 remember the Name of ye Lord our God.

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

They are brought downe and fallen, but we are risen, and stand vpright.

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

Saue Lord: let the King heare vs in the day that we call.
