Psalms 20

To the director; a psalm to David.

20:1Let the lord heed you in the day of affliction! Let the name of the God of Jacob shield you.

20:2May he send to you help from the holy place, and from Zion may he assist you.

20:3May every sacrifice of yours be remembered, and let him fatten your whole burnt-offering!

20:4May the lord give to you according to your heart, and fulfill all your plans.

20:5We will exult over your deliverance; and in the name of the lord our God we will be magnified. May the lord fill all your requests.

20:6Now I knew that the lord delivered his anointed one; he shall heed him from out of his holy heaven. By dominations is the deliverance of his right hand.

20:7These in chariots, and these in horses -- but we shall call in the name of the lord our God.

20:8They are bound hand and foot, and they fall; but we rose up and were re-erected.

20:9O lord, preserve the king, and heed us in what ever day we should call upon you!
