Psalms 20

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

¹ May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble.
May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high, ² send you help from the sanctuary,
grant you support from Zion, ³ remember all your offerings,
and accept your burned sacrifice.
Selah. ⁴ May he grant you your heart’s desire,
and fulfill all your counsel. ⁵ We will triumph in your salvation.
In the name of our God, we will set up our banners.
May the LORD grant all your requests. ⁶ Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed.
He will answer him from his holy heaven,
with the saving strength 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 bowed down and fallen,
but we rise up, and stand upright. ⁹ Save, LORD!
Let the King answer us when we call!
