Psalmorum 20

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

Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high,

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

send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion,

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

remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice (Selah)

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

grant thee thy heart's desire, and fulfill all thy counsel.

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

We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. Jehovah fulfill all thy petitions.

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 Jehovah 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 will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

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

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

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

Save, Jehovah! Let the King answer us when we call.
