Psalmorum 20

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May YHWH answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

2 mittat tibi auxilium de sancto et de Sion tueatur te

He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

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

He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

4 tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum et omne consilium tuum confirmet

He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

5 laetabimur in salutari tuo et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur

We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May YHWH grant all your requests.

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 YHWH saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by 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 trust the name of YHWH our God.

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

They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

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

Save, YHWH. Let the King answer us when we call.
