Psalms 20

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David.	1 Unto the end. A psalm for David.
2 In your virtue, Lord, the king will rejoice, and over your salvation, he will exult exceedingly.	2 May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.
3 You have granted him the desire of his heart, and you have not cheated him of the wish of his lips.	3 May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.
4 For you have gone ahead of him with blessings of sweetness. You have placed a crown of precious stones on his head.	4 May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.
5 He petitioned you for life, and you have granted him length of days, in the present time, and forever and ever.	5 May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.
6 Great is his glory in your salvation. Glory and great adornment, you will lay upon him.	6 We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.
7 For you will give him as a blessing forever and ever. You will make him rejoice with gladness in your presence.	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.
8 Because the king hopes in the Lord, and in the mercy of the Most High, he will not be disturbed.	8 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.
9 May your hand be found by all your enemies. May your right hand discover all those who hate you.	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.
10 You will make them like an oven of fire, in the time of your presence. The Lord will stir them up with his wrath, and fire will devour them.
11 You will destroy their fruit from the earth and their offspring from the sons of men.
12 For they have turned evils upon you; they have devised plans, which they have not been able to accomplish.
13 For you will make them turn their back; with your remnants, you will prepare their countenance.
14 Be exalted, Lord, by your own power. We will play music and sing psalms to your virtues.
