Psalm 20

Psalm 20

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble.
    May the God of Jacob keep you safe.
2 May he send you help from the sacred tent.
    May he give you aid from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices.
    May he accept your burnt offerings.
4 May he give you what your heart wishes for.
    May he make all your plans succeed.
5 May we shout for joy over your victory.
    May we lift up our flags in the name of our God.
    May the Lord give you everything you ask for.

6 Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his anointed king.
    He answers him from his sacred home in heaven.
    The power of God’s right hand gives victory to the king.
7 Some trust in chariots. Some trust in horses.
    But we trust in the Lord our God.
8 They are brought to their knees and fall down.
    But we get up and stand firm.

9 Lord, give victory to the king!
    Answer us when we call out to you!
