Psalmorum 20

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

For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you.

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

Send you help from the sanctuary, and aid you out of Sion.

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

Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. (Pause)

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

Grant you according to your heart, and fulfil all your desire.

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

We will exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil 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 has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

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

Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

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

They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

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

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon you.
