20 The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.

Panalangin Upang Magtagumpay

Katha ni David upang awitin ng Punong Mang-aawit.

20 Pakinggan ka sana ni Yahweh kapag ika'y nagdurusa!
    At ang Diyos ni Jacob ingatan ka sana.
Mula sa Templo, ikaw sana'y kanyang tulungan,
    at mula sa Zion, ikaw ay kanyang alalayan.
Ang handog mo nawa ay kanyang tanggapin,
    at pahalagahan niya ang lahat ng iyong haing susunugin. (Selah)[a]
Nawa'y ipagkaloob niya ang iyong hangarin,
    at sa iyong mga plano, ika'y pagtagumpayin.
Sa pagtatagumpay mo kami ay magbubunyi,
    magpupuri sa Diyos sa aming pagdiriwang.
Ibigay nawa ni Yahweh ang lahat mong kahilingan.

Ngayon ko nalalaman na si Yahweh ang nagbigay, sa pinili niyang hari, ng kanyang tagumpay!
    Siya'y tinutugon niya mula sa kalangitan,
    mga dakilang tagumpay kanyang makakamtan.
Mayroong umaasa sa karwaheng pandigma,
    at mayroon ding sa kabayo nagtitiwala;
    ngunit sa kapangyarihan ni Yahweh na aming Diyos, nananalig kami at umaasang lubos.
Sila'y manghihina at tuluyang babagsak,
    ngunit tayo'y tatayo at mananatiling matatag.

O Yahweh, ang hari'y iyong pagtagumpayin;
    ang aming panawagan, ay iyong sagutin.

    with the victorious power of his right hand.(P)
Some trust in chariots(Q) and some in horses,(R)

Lord, give victory to the king!
    Answer us(W) when we call!

The Assurance of God’s Saving Work

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

20 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble;
May the name of the God of Jacob [a]defend you;
May He send you help from the sanctuary,
And strengthen you out of Zion;
May He remember all your offerings,
And accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah

May He grant you according to your heart’s desire,
And (A)fulfill all your [b]purpose.
We will rejoice in your salvation,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

Now I know that the Lord saves His [c]anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand.

Some trust in chariots, and some in (B)horses;
But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
They have bowed down and fallen;
But we have risen and stand upright.

Save, Lord!
May the King answer us when we call.
