Psalmorum 20

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May Jehovah 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.

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 Lætabimur 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 Jehovah grant all your requests.

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 I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by his right hand.

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

Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust 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 rise up, and stand upright.

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

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