Psalm 20

¹The Lord answer you in the day of trouble!

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 victory,

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

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

⁶Now I know that the Lord will help his anointed;

he will answer him from his holy heaven

with mighty victories by his right hand.

⁷Some take pride in chariots, and some in horses,

but our pride is in the name of the Lord our God.

⁸They will collapse and fall,

but we shall rise and stand upright.

⁹Give victory to the king, O Lord;

answer us when we call.
