Psalm 20

¹May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble, *the Name of the God of Jacob defend you;

²Send you help from his holy place *and strengthen you out of Zion;

³Remember all your offerings *and accept your burnt sacrifice;

⁴Grant you your heart’s desire *and prosper all your plans.

⁵We will shout for joy at your victory and triumph in the Name of our God; *may the Lord grant all your requests.

⁶Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his anointed; *he will answer him out of his holy heaven, with the victorious strength of his right hand.

⁷Some put their trust in chariots and some in horses, *but we will call upon the Name of the Lord our God.

⁸They collapse and fall down, *but we will arise and stand upright.

⁹O Lord, give victory to the king *and answer us when we call.
