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 Leader. A Psalm of David. The LORD 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 forth thy help from the sanctuary, and support thee out of Zion;

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

Receive the memorial of all thy meal-offerings, and accept the fat of thy burnt-sacrifice; (Selah)

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

Grant thee according to thine own heart, 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 shout for joy in thy victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our standards; the LORD 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 the LORD saveth His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the mighty acts of His saving 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 the LORD 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, LORD; let the King answer us in the day that we call.
