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,

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

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

Mittat tibi auxilium de sancto, et de Sion tueatur te.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of Yahweh our God.

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

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

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

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

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