Psalmorum 20

1 Psalmus David, in finem. Exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis: protegat te nomen Dei Iacob.

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 Laetabimur 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. Exaudiat illum de caelo sancto suo: in potentatibus salus dexterae eius.

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.
