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 the LORD 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

send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

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

remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. (Selah)

4 tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum et omne consilium tuum confirmet

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

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 the LORD 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 the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, 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 trust in the name of the LORD 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, LORD! Let the King answer us when we call!
