For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble;
The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;
Send thee help from the sanctuary,
And {Or, support}strengthen thee out of Zion;
Remember all thy {Or, meal-offerings}offerings,
And {Hebrew: accept as fat.}accept thy burnt-sacrifice;
[Selah.
Grant thee thy heart's desire,
And fulfil all thy counsel.
We will triumph in thy {Or, victory}salvation,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners:
Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.
Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed;
He will answer him from his holy heaven
With the saving strength of his right hand.
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;
But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.
They are bowed down and fallen;
But we are risen, and stand upright.
Save, Jehovah:
Let the King answer us when we call.
Querverweise zu Psalm 20,6 Ps 20,6
The kings of the earth set themselves,And the rulers take counsel together,Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,
And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place; and when thou hearest, forgive.

Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where are thy zeal and thy mighty acts? the yearning of thy heart and thy compassions are restrained toward me.
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation;And thy right hand hath holden me up,And thy {Or, condescension}gentleness hath made me great.
Jehovah is their strength,And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
