Psalmorum 20

1 In finem, Psalmus David. Exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis: protegat te nomen Dei Iacob.

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

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

3 Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui: et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat.

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

4 Tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum: et omne consilium tuum confirmet.

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

5 Lætabimur in salutari tuo: et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur.

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

6 Impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas: nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus CHRISTUM suum. Exaudiet illum de cælo sancto suo: in potentatibus salus dexteræ eius.

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

Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

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

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

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

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