תהילים כPsalms 20

For the leader. A psalm of David.

May GOD answer you in time of trouble,the name of Jacob’s God keep you safe—

sending you help from the sanctuary,and sustaining you from Zion.

May [God] receive the tokens, “token portion” of grain offering; Lev. 2.2, 9, 16, etc. of all your grain offerings,and approve your burnt offerings. Selah.

May your desire be granted,your every plan fulfilled.

May we shout for joy in your victory,arrayed by standards in the name of our God.May GOD fulfill your every wish.

Now I know that GOD will give victory to our anointed one,will answer him from the heavenly sanctuarywith the mighty victories of God’s right arm.

They [call] on chariots, they [call] on horses,but we call on the name of the ETERNAL our God.

They collapse and lie fallen,but we rally and gather strength.

O ETERNAL One, grant victory to the king;may [God] answer us when we call.
