Psalm 20

Trust in the Name of the Lord Our God

20To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

¹May the Lord ^lanswer you in the day of trouble!

May ^mthe name of the God of Jacob ⁿprotect you!

²May he send you help from ^othe sanctuary

and give you support from ^pZion!

³May he ^qremember all your offerings

and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah

⁴May he ^rgrant you your heart’s desire

and fulfill all your plans!

⁵May we shout for joy over ^syour salvation,

and in the name of our God set up our ^tbanners!

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!

⁶Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;

he will answer him from his holy heaven

with ^uthe saving might of his right hand.

⁷Some trust in ^vchariots and some in ^whorses,

^xbut we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

⁸They collapse and fall,

but we rise and stand upright.

⁹O Lord, save ^ythe king!

May he answer us when we call.
