Psalm 20

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee; 2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; 3 Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; Selah. 4 Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels. 5 We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

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. 7  Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we 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 in the day we call.
