Psalms 20

PSALM 20

The Name of The LORD is a Shield

To the director; a psalm to David.

1 Let [²heed ³you ¹the lord] in the day of affliction! Let [⁶shield ⁷you ¹the ²name ³of the ⁴God ⁵of Jacob]. 2 May he send to you help from the holy place, and from Zion may he assist you. 3 May [⁴be remembered ¹every ²sacrifice ³of yours], and [²your whole burnt-offering ¹let him fatten]! 4 May [²give ³to you ¹the lord] according to your heart, and [²all ³your plans ¹fulfill]. 5 We 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. 6 Now I knew that the lord delivered his anointed one; he shall heed him from out of [²heaven ¹his holy]. By dominations is the deliverance of his right hand. 7 These in chariots, and these in horses -- but we [²in ³the name ⁴of the lord ⁵our God ¹shall call]. 8 They are bound hand and foot, and they fall; but we rose up and were re-erected. 9 O lord, preserve the king, and heed us in what ever day we should call upon you!
