Psalms 20

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

The LORD hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you;

2 He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

Send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;

3 He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

Remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice; (Selah)

4 He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

Grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your counsel.

5 We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

6 Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

Now know I that the LORD saves his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

8 They — they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

9 O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
