Psalmorum 20

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy 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 have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

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

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

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

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

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

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