Psalm 20
King James Version
20 The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
5 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.
6 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.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9 Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.

Psalm 20
1 Dem Vorsänger. Ein Psalm Davids.
2 Der Herr antworte dir am Tag der Drangsal,
der Name des Gottes Jakobs schütze dich!
3 Er sende dir Hilfe aus dem Heiligtum
und stärke dich aus Zion;
4 er gedenke an alle deine Speisopfer
und sehe dein Brandopfer wohlgefällig an.[a] (Sela.)
5 Er gebe dir, was dein Herz begehrt,
und lasse alle deine Vorhaben gelingen!
6 Wir wollen jauchzen über dein Heil
und das Banner erheben im Namen unseres Gottes!
Der Herr erfülle alle deine Bitten!
7 Nun weiß ich,
dass der Herr seinem Gesalbten[b] hilft.
Er antwortet ihm aus seinem heiligen Himmel
mit rettenden Machttaten seiner Rechten.
8 Jene rühmen sich der Wagen und diese der Rosse;
wir aber des Namens des Herrn, unseres Gottes.
9 Sie sind niedergesunken und gefallen;
wir aber stehen fest und halten uns aufrecht.
10 O Herr, hilf!
Der König antworte uns an dem Tag, da wir rufen!
