Psalms 20:1-9
1
Psalm 20
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2
May he send you help from the sanctuary
and grant you support from Zion.
3
May he remember all your sacrifices
and accept your burnt offerings. Selah
4
May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed.
5
We will shout for joy when you are victorious
and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the Lord grant all your requests.
6
Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;
he answers him from his holy heaven
with the saving power of his right hand.
7
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8
They are brought to their knees and fall,
but we rise up and stand firm.
9
O Lord, save the king!
Answer us when we call!
