PSALM 20
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1 JEHOVAH hear thee in the day
when trouble he doth send:
And let the name of Jacob's God
thee from all ill defend.
2O let him help send from above,
out of his sanctuary:
From Sion, his own holy hill,
let him give strength to thee.
3Let him remember all thy gifts,
accept thy sacrifice:
4Grant thee thine heart's wish, and fulfil
thy thoughts and counsel wise.
5In thy salvation we will joy;
in our God's name we will
Display our banners: and the Lord
thy prayers all fulfil.
6Now know I God his king doth save:
he from his holy heav'n
Will hear him, with the saving strength
by his own right hand giv'n.
7In chariots some put confidence,
some horses trust upon:
But we remember will the name
of our Lord God alone.
8We rise, and upright stand, when they
are bowed down, and fall.
9Deliver, Lord; and let the King
us hear, when we do call.

God’s Blessing on the King
For the music director. A psalm of David.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble.
May the name of Jacob’s God protect#The sense is that of making something inaccessibly high, like a fortress you.
2May he send you help#Hebrew “your help” from the sanctuary,
and from Zion may he sustain you.
3May he remember all your offerings,
and your burnt offering may he regard favorably.#Literally “find to be fat”
4May he give to you your heart’s desire,#Literally “according to your heart”
and your every plan may he fulfill. Selah
5May we shout for joy over your victory,
and in the name of our God may we set up banners.
May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.
6Now I know that Yahweh will help his anointed.#Hebrew “messiah”
He will answer him from his holy heaven
with the victorious power of his right hand.
7Some boast in chariots and others in horses,#Literally “These in the chariots and those in the horses”
but we boast in the name of Yahweh, our God.
8They will collapse and fall,
and we will rise and stand firm.
9Rescue,#Or “Grant victory” O Yahweh.
Let the king answer us when we call.
