Psalms 20

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The Lord heare thee in the day of trouble: the name of ye God of Iaakob defend thee:

Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

2 Send thee helpe from the Sanctuarie, and strengthen thee out of Zion.

May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

3 Let him remember all thine offerings, and turne thy burnt offerings into asshes. (Selah)

May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

4 And graunt thee according to thine heart, and fulfill all thy purpose:

May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

5 That we may reioyce in thy saluation, and set vp the banner in the Name of our God, when the Lord shall performe all thy petitions.

We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

6 Now know I that the Lord will helpe his anointed, and will heare him from his Sanctuarie, by the mightie helpe of his right hand.

The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

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

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

8 They are brought downe and fallen, but we are risen, and stand vpright.

They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

9 Saue Lord: let the King heare vs in the day that we call.

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
