Psalm 20
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 20
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 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.

Reina Valera Contemporánea
Oración en que se pide la victoria
Al músico principal. Salmo de David.
20 Que el Señor te oiga en momentos de angustia;
que te defienda el Nombre, el Dios de Jacob.
2 Que desde su templo te envíe su ayuda;
que desde Sión te brinde su apoyo.
3 Que tome en cuenta tus ofrendas
Y acepte con agrado tus holocaustos.
4 Que responda a los deseos de tu corazón
y te conceda todas tus peticiones.
5 ¡Nos llenará de gozo el verte victorioso,
y en el nombre del Dios nuestro alzaremos las banderas!
¡Que el Señor responda a todas tus plegarias!
6 Ahora sé que el Señor salvará a su ungido,
que lo escuchará desde su santo cielo,
y que con su diestra poderosa le dará la victoria.
7 Algunos confían en sus carros de guerra;
otros confían en su caballería,
Pero nosotros confiamos en el Nombre,
¡confiamos en el Señor, nuestro Dios!
8 Unos y otros flaquean, y caen por tierra,
pero nosotros nos mantenemos erguidos y en pie.
9 Señor, ¡concede al rey la victoria!
¡Respóndenos cuando te invoquemos!
