Psalm 20

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

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.

2        O let him help send from above,

                   out of his sanctuary:

          From Sion, his own holy hill,

                   let him give strength to thee.

3        Let him remember all thy gifts,

                   accept thy sacrifice:

4        Grant thee thine heart's wish, and fulfil

                   thy thoughts and counsel wise.

5        In thy salvation we will joy;

                   in our God's name we will

          Display our banners: and the Lord

                   thy prayers all fulfil.

6        Now 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.

7        In chariots some put confidence,

                   some horses trust upon:

          But we remember will the name

                   of our Lord God alone.

8        We rise, and upright stand, when they

                   are bowed down, and fall.

9        Deliver, Lord; and let the King

                   us hear, when we do call.
