Psalm 20

Psalm 20

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

¹May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble;

May the name of the God of Jacob ¹defend you;

²May He send you help from the sanctuary,

And strengthen you out of Zion;

³May He remember all your offerings,

And accept your burnt sacrifice.

Selah

⁴May He grant you according to your heart’s desire,

And ^afulfill all your ²purpose.

⁵We will rejoice in your salvation,

And in the name of our God we will set up our banners!

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

⁶Now I know that the Lord saves His ³anointed;

He will answer him from His holy heaven

With the saving strength of His right hand.

⁷Some trust in chariots, and some in ^bhorses;

But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

⁸They have bowed down and fallen;

But we have risen and stand upright.

⁹Save, Lord!

May the King answer us when we call.
