Psalms 20

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Unto the end. A psalm for David.	1 For the leader. A psalm of David.
2 May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.	2 The LORD answer you in time of distress; the name of the God of Jacob defend you!
3 May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.	3 May God send you help from the temple, from Zion be your support.
4 May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.	4 May God remember your every offering, graciously accept your holocaust, Selah
5 May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.	5 Grant what is in your heart, fulfill your every plan.
6 We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.	6 May we shout for joy at your victory, raise the banners in the name of our God. The LORD grant your every prayer!
7 The Lord fulfil all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.	7 Now I know victory is given to the anointed of the LORD. God will answer him from the holy heavens with a strong arm that brings victory.
8 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.	8 Some rely on chariots, others on horses, but we on the name of the LORD our God.
9 They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright. O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.	9 They collapse and fall, but we stand strong and firm.
	10 LORD, grant victory to the king; answer when we call upon you.
