Psalmorum 20

1 In finem. Psalmus David. [Exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis; protegat te nomen Dei Jacob.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

2 Mittat tibi auxilium de sancto, et de Sion tueatur te.

send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

3 Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui, et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat.

remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. (Selah)

4 Tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum, et omne consilium tuum confirmet.

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

5 Lætabimur in salutari tuo; et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur.

We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.

6 Impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas; nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus christum suum. Exaudiet illum de cælo sancto suo, in potentatibus salus dexteræ ejus.

Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Hi in curribus, et hi in equis; nos autem in nomine Domini Dei nostri invocabimus.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

8 Ipsi obligati sunt, et ceciderunt; nos autem surreximus, et erecti sumus.

They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

9 Domine, salvum fac regem, et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te.]

Save, LORD! Let the King answer us when we call!
