Psalm 20 - Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

PSALM 20

¹ JEHOVAH hear thee in the day when trouble he doth send: And let the name of Jacob's God thee from all ill defend.

² O let him help send from above, out of his sanctuary: From Sion, his own holy hill, let him give strength to thee.

³ Let him remember all thy gifts, accept thy sacrifice:

⁴ Grant thee thine heart's wish, and fulfil thy thoughts and counsel wise.

⁵ In thy salvation we will joy; in our God's name we will Display our banners: and the Lord thy prayers all fulfil.

⁶ Now know I God his king doth save: he from his holy heav'n Will hear him, with the saving strength by his own right hand giv'n.

⁷ In chariots some put confidence, some horses trust upon: But we remember will the name of our Lord God alone.

⁸ We rise, and upright stand, when they are bowed down, and fall.

⁹ Deliver, Lord; and let the King us hear, when we do call.
