Psalm 20

A prayer of the people vnto God, that it wolde pleaſe him to heare their King & receiue his ſacrifice, which he offred before he went to battel againſt the Ammonites.
To him that excelleth. A Pſalme of Dauid.
1.THE Lord heare thee in the daye of trouble: the Name of the God of Iaakób defende thee:
2.Send thee helpe from the Sanctuarie, and ſtrengthen thee out of Zión.
3.Let him remember all thine offrings, and turne thy burnt offrings into aſhes. Sélah:
4.And grante thee according to thine heart, and fulfil all thy purpoſe:
5.That we may reioyce in thy ſaluacion, and ſet vp the banner in the Name of our God, when the Lord ſhal performe all thy petitions.
6.Now know I that the Lord wil helpe his anointed, and wil heare him from his Sanctuarie, by the mightie helpe of his right hand.
7.Some truſt in chariots, and ſome in horſes: but we wil remember the Name of the Lord our God.
8.They are broght downe and fallen, but we are riſen, and ſtande vpright.
9.Saue Lord: let the King heare vs in the day that we call.
