Psalm 20

1 Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

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

3 Remember all thy offerings, And accept thy burnt-sacrifice; Selah

4 Grant thee thy heart’s desire, And fulfil all thy counsel.

5 We will triumph in thy salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.

6 Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; He will answer him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

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

9 Save, Jehovah: Let the King answer us when we call.

Psalm 20

For the music director; a psalm of David.

1 May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble;
may the God of Jacob make you secure!

2 May he send you help from his temple;
from Zion may he give you support!

3 May he take notice of your offerings;
may he accept your burnt sacrifice! (Selah)

4 May he grant your heart’s desire;
may he bring all your plans to pass!

5 Then we will shout for joy over your victory;
we will rejoice in the name of our God!
May the Lord grant all your requests!

6 Now I am sure that the Lord will deliver his chosen king;
he will intervene for him from his holy heavenly temple,
and display his mighty ability to deliver.

7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses,
but we depend on the Lord our God.

8 They will fall down,
but we will stand firm.

9 The Lord will deliver the king;
he will answer us when we call to him for help!
