Psalm 20

Trust in the Name of the Lord Our God

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

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

May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!

²May he send you help from the sanctuary

and give you support from Zion!

³May he remember all your offerings

and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah

⁴May he grant you your heart's desire

and fulfill all your plans!

⁵May we shout for joy over your salvation,

and in the name of our God set up our banners!

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 the saving might of his right hand.

⁷Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

⁸They collapse and fall,

but we rise and stand upright.

⁹O Lord, save the king!

May he answer us when we call.
