Psalmorum 20

1 In finem. Psalmus David. [Exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis; protegat te nomen Dei Jacob.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; 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 strengthen thee out of Zion;

3 Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui, et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat.

Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; (Selah)

4 Tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum, et omne consilium tuum confirmet.

Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

5 Lætabimur in salutari tuo; et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur.

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

6 Impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas; nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus christum suum. Exaudiet illum de cælo sancto suo, in potentatibus salus dexteræ ejus.

Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Hi in curribus, et hi in equis; nos autem in nomine Domini Dei nostri invocabimus.

Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

8 Ipsi obligati sunt, et ceciderunt; nos autem surreximus, et erecti sumus.

They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.

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

Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.
