Psalms 20

1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

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 May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

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

3 May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

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

4 May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

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

5 We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

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

6 The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

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 call upon the name of the Lord 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 bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

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

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

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