The Twentieth Psalm
Exaudiat te Dominus.
THE LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; * the Name of the God of Jacob defend thee:
Send thee help from the sanctuary, * and strengthen thee out of Sion:
Remember all thy offerings, * and accept thy burnt sacrifice:
Grant thee thy heart's desire, * and fulfil all thy mind.
We will rejoice in thy salvation, and triumph in the Name of the Lord our God: * the LORD perform all thy petitions.
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.
Some put their trust in chariots, and some in horses; * but we will remember the Name of the LORD our God.
They are brought down and fallen; * but we are risen and stand upright.
Save, LORD; and hear us, O King of heaven, * when we call upon thee.
