Psalm 20

Psalm 20

For the choir director; a psalm by David. 

¹The Lord will answer you in times of trouble. 

The name of the God of Jacob will protect you. 

²He will send you help from his holy place 

and support you from Zion. 

³He will remember all your grain offerings 

and look with favor on your burnt offerings. 

Selah 

⁴He will give you your heart’s desire 

and carry out all your plans. 

⁵We will joyfully sing about your victory. 

We will wave our flags in the name of our God. 

The Lord will fulfill all your requests. 

⁶Now I know that the Lord will give victory to his anointed king. 

He will answer him from his holy heaven 

with mighty deeds of his powerful hand. 

⁷Some ⸤rely⸥ on chariots and others on horses, 

but we will boast in the name of the Lord our God. 

⁸They will sink to their knees and fall, 

but we will rise and stand firm. 

⁹Give victory to the king, O Lord. 

Answer us when we call.
