Psalms 20

1 A prayer of the people unto God, that it would please him to hear their King and receive his sacrifice, which he offered before he went to battel against the Ammonites.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David.
1.The aLord hear thee in the day of trouble: the bName of the God of Jaakób defend thee:
2.Send thee help from the Sanctuarie, and strengthen thee out of Zión.
3.Let him remember all thine offerings, and cturn thy burnt offerings into ashes. Seláh:
4.And grant thee according to thine heart, & fulfill all thy purpose:
5.That we may rejoyce in thy dsalvation, and set up the banner in the Name of our God, when the Lord shal perform all thy petitions.
6.Now eknow I that the Lord wil help his anointed, and wil hear him from his fSanctuary, by the mighty help of his right hand.
7.Some trust in chariots, & some in horses: but we wil remember the Name of the Lord our God.
8.gThey are brought down and fallen, but we are risen, and stand upright.
9.Save Lord: hlet the King hear us in the day that we call.
