Psalms 20

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

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

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

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

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

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

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

Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfill all thy desire.

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

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

6 Now I know that Yahweh saves 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 trust in the name of Yahweh 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 rise up, and stand upright.

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

9 Save, Yahweh! Let the King answer us when we call!

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