Psalms 20

1To 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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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