Psalmorum 20

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

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

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

May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

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

May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

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

May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

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

May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your 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 the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power 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 others 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 collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

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

O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.
