Psalmorum 20

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Yahweh grant all your requests.

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 Yahweh saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

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

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

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

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

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

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