Salmo 20

Para o mestre de música. Salmo davídico.

Que o Senhor te responda
    no tempo da angústia;
o nome do Deus de Jacó te proteja!
Do santuário te envie auxílio
e de Sião te dê apoio.
Lembre-se de todas as tuas ofertas
e aceite os teus holocaustos[a].Pausa
Conceda-te o desejo do teu coração
e leve a efeito todos os teus planos.
Saudaremos a tua vitória com gritos de alegria
e ergueremos as nossas bandeiras
    em nome do nosso Deus.
Que o Senhor atenda todos os teus pedidos!

Agora sei que o Senhor
    dará vitória ao seu ungido;
dos seus santos céus lhe responde
    com o poder salvador da sua mão direita.
Alguns confiam em carros e outros em cavalos,
mas nós confiamos
no nome do Senhor, o nosso Deus.
Eles vacilam e caem,
mas nós nos erguemos e estamos firmes.

Senhor, concede vitória ao rei!
Responde-nos[b] quando clamamos!

Psalm 20

Deliverance in Battle

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.

May Yahweh answer you in a day of trouble;(A)
may the name of Jacob’s God protect you.(B)
May He send you help from the sanctuary
and sustain you from Zion.(C)
May He remember all your offerings
and accept your burnt offering.(D)Selah

May He give you what your heart desires(E)
and fulfill your whole purpose.(F)
Let us shout for joy at your victory(G)
and lift the banner in the name of our God.(H)
May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.(I)

Now I know that the Lord gives victory to His anointed;(J)
He will answer him from His holy heaven
with mighty victories from[a] His right hand.(K)
Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses,
but we take pride in the name of Yahweh our God.(L)
They collapse and fall,
but we rise and stand firm.(M)
Lord, give victory to the king!(N)
May He[b] answer us on the day that 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.
