Psalm 20

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

¹ May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble;
         May the name of the God of Jacob defend you;
² May He send you help from the sanctuary,
         And strengthen you out of Zion;
³ May He remember all your offerings,
         And accept your burnt sacrifice.  Selah  
⁴ May He grant you according to your heart’s desire,
         And fulfill all your purpose.
⁵ We 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.
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 will remember the name of the LORD our God.
⁸ They have bowed down and fallen;
         But we have risen and stand upright.
⁹ Save, LORD!
         May the King answer us when we call.
