Psalms 20

1The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

1 May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob;

1Unto the end. A psalm for David.

1 Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of theGod of Jacob protect thee;

2Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

2May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion;

2In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.

2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

3Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

3May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah.)

3Thou hast given him his heart's desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.

3 Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; Selah.

4Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

4May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

4For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.

4 Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

5We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

5We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

5He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.

5 We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of ourGod will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

6Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

6Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

6His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.

6 Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.

7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

7Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

7For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.

7 Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah ourGod.

8They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

8They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

8For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

8 They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.

9Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.

9Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.

9Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.

9 Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.
