Psalm
20
[Recommended tunes: v 1-4 St Neot, Walsall; v 5-9 St Matthias, Jackson]
|
1Jehovah hear thee in the
day
when trouble he doth send:
And
let the name of Jacob's God
thee from all ill defend.
|
|
2O let him help send from above,
out of his sanctuary:
From
Sion, his own holy hill,
let him give strength to thee.
|
|
3Let him remember all thy gifts,
accept thy sacrifice:
4Grant thee thine heart's wish, and fulfil
thy thoughts and counsel wise.
|
|
5In thy salvation we will joy;
in our God's name we will
Display
our banners: and the Lord
thy prayers all fulfil.
|
|
6Now 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.
|
|
7In chariots some put confidence,
some horses trust upon:
But
we remember will the name
of our Lord God alone.
|
|
8We rise, and upright stand, when they
are bowed down, and fall.
9Deliver, Lord; and let the King
us hear, when we do call.
