Psalmorum 20

1 in finem psalmus David exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis protegat te nomen Dei Iacob

“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” May the Lord answer thee on the day of distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

2 mittat tibi auxilium de sancto et de Sion tueatur te

May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and support thee from Zion;

3 memor sit omnis sacrificii tui et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat diapsalma

May he remember all thy meat-offerings, and accept in favor thy burnt-sacrifice. (Selah)

4 tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum et omne consilium tuum confirmet

May he grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfill all thy resolves.

5 laetabimur in salutari tuo et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we upraise our banners: may the Lord fulfill all thy 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 saveth his anointed: he will answer him from his holy heavens, with the saving strength 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 some in horses; but we will invoke the name of the Lord our God.

8 ipsi obligati sunt et ceciderunt nos vero surreximus et erecti sumus

They are prostrate and fallen; but we are risen up and stand erect.

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

O Lord, save [us]: may the king answer us on the day when we call [on him].
