Psalms 20

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you.

2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion;

Send you help from the sanctuary, and aid you out of Sion.

3 Remember all thy offerings, And accept thy burnt-sacrifice; (Selah)

Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. (Pause)

4 Grant thee thy heart’s desire, And fulfil all thy counsel.

Grant you according to your heart, and fulfil all your desire.

5 We will triumph in thy salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.

We will exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all your petitions.

6 Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; He will answer him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand.

Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

8 They are bowed down and fallen; But we are risen, and stand upright.

They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

9 Save, Jehovah: Let the King answer us when we call.

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon you.
