Psalmorum 20

1 in finem psalmus David 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 diapsalma

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 exaudiet 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 hii in curribus et hii 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 vero 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.
