Psalm 20

Trust in the Name of the Lord Our God

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1  May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!
May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!
2  May he send you help from the sanctuary
and give you support from Zion!
3  May he remember all your offerings
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah

4  May he grant you your heart's desire
and fulfill all your plans!
5  May we shout for joy over your salvation,
and in the name of our God set up our banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!

6  Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with the saving might of his right hand.
7  Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8  They collapse and fall,
but we rise and stand upright.

9  O Lord, save the king!
May he answer us when we call.

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.
