196. Psalm XX

1 Jehovah hear thee in the day
When trouble he doth send;
And let the name of Jacob's God
From every ill defend.

2 In thy salvation we will joy,
In our God's name we will
Display our banners; and the Lord
Thy prayers all fulfil.

3 O let him send his help to thee
Out from his holy place;
Let him from Zion, his own hill,
Sustain thee by his grace.

4 Let him remember all thy gifts,
Accept thy sacrifice;
Grant thee thy heart's wish, and fulfil
Thy thoughts and counsel wise

5 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.

6 In chariots some put confidence,
On horses some rely,
But we remember will the name
Of God, our God Most High.
