Psalm 19

A prayer for the king.

Does this psalm differ from what you were expecting? Don't be confused. There are two systems for arranging the psalms: the Septuagint and the Masoretic. We use the Septuagint system here. In the Masoretic system, which is used in most modern Bible translations, this psalm is called Psalm 20, and the previous psalm is known as Psalm 19.

English (Douay-Rheims)

1 Unto the end. A psalm for David.

2 May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.
3 May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.
4 May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.
5 May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.
6 We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.
7 The Lord fulfil all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers. The salvation of his right hand is in powers... That is, in strength. His right hand is strong and mighty to save them that trust in him.
8 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord, our God.
9 They are bound, and have fallen: but we are risen, and are set upright. O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.

Latin (Clementine Vulgate)

1 In finem. Psalmus David.

2 Exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis;
protegat te nomen Dei Jacob.
3 Mittat tibi auxilium de sancto,
et de Sion tueatur te.
4 Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui,
et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat.
5 Tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum,
et omne consilium tuum confirmet.
6 Lætabimur in salutari tuo;
et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur.
7 Impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas;
nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus christum suum.
Exaudiet illum de cælo sancto suo,
in potentatibus salus dexteræ ejus.
8 Hi in curribus, et hi in equis;
nos autem in nomine Domini Dei nostri invocabimus.
9 Ipsi obligati sunt, et ceciderunt;
nos autem surreximus, et erecti sumus.
10 Domine, salvum fac regem,
et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te.
