Psalms 20

1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

2 Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;

May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

3 Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending-sacrifice, esteem. (Selah)

May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

4 Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

5 We will shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh fulfil all thy petitions.

May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

6 Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

7 These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

8 They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.

They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

9 Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.

O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.
