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 Melody of David. Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

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

Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;

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

Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending-sacrifice, esteem. (Selah)

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

Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

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 aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh 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, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

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

These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

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

They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.

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

Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.
