PSALM 20
Exaudiat te Dominus.

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 Sion:

3 Remember | all thy offerings,

* and ac- | -cept thy burnt-sacrifice:

4 Grant thee thy | heart's desire,

* and ful- | -fil all thy mind.

5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and triumph in the Name of the | LORD our God:

* the LORD per- | -form all thy petitions.

6 Now know I that the LORD helpeth his anointed, and will hear him from his | holy heaven,

* even with the wholesome | strength of his right hand.

7 Some put their 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; and hear us, O | King of heaven,

* when we | call upon thee.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
