Psalm 20

¹ Jehovah hear thee in the day

of sore calamity,

the name of the God of Jacob

defend thee mightily.

² Send thee help from his holy place:

from Zion strengthen thee.

³ Mind all thy gifts, thy sacrifice

accepted let it be. Selah.

⁴ Grant thee according to thy heart,

all thy counsel fulfill.

⁵ In thy perfect salvation

with singing joy we will:

and we in the name of our God

our banners will erect:

when as all thy petitions

Jehovah shall effect.

⁶ Now I know, that Jehovah doth

save his anointed dear:

with saving strength of his right hand

from his pure heav’n will hear.

⁷ In chariots some their confidence,

and some in horses set:

but we the name of Jehovah

our God will not forget.
