1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.

2 \20:1\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;

3 \20:2\May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion;

4 \20:3\May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah.)

5 \20:4\May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

6 \20:5\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.

7 \20:6\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.

8 \20:7\Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

9 \20:8\They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

10 \20:9\Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.

1 May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble.

May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

2 send you help from the sanctuary,

grant you support from Zion,

3 remember all your offerings,

and accept your burned sacrifice. Selah.

4 May he grant you your heart’s desire,

and fulfill all your counsel.

5 We will triumph in your salvation.

In the name of our God, we will set up our banners.

May Yahweh grant all your requests.

6 Now I know that Yahweh saves 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 trust in the name of Yahweh our God.

8 They are bowed down and fallen,

but we rise up, and stand upright.

9 Save, Yahweh!

Let the King answer us when we call!
