Psalms 20
|
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high; | To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.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; |
Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion; | May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion; |
Remember all thy offerings, And accept thy burnt-sacrifice; Selah | May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah.) |
Grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfil all thy counsel. | May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect. |
We will triumph in thy salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions. | We 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. |
Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; He will answer him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand. | Now 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. |
Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God. | Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God. |
They are bowed down and fallen; But we are risen, and stand upright. | They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up. |
Save, Jehovah: Let the King answer us when we call. | Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry. |
