Psalm 20

¹I pray that the LORD answers you

Let the name of Jacob’s God protect you.

²Let God send help to you from the sanctuary

and support you from Zion.

³Let God recall your many grain offerings;

let him savor your entirely burned offerings. Selah

⁴Let God grant what is in your heart

and fulfill all your plans.

⁵Then we will rejoice that you’ve been helped.

We will fly our flags in the name of our God.

Let the LORD fulfill all your requests!

⁶Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed one;

God answers his anointed one

answering with mighty acts of salvation

⁷Some people trust in chariots, others in horses;

but we praise the LORD ’s name.

⁸They will collapse and fall,

but we will stand up straight and strong.

⁹LORD , save the king!

Let him answer us when we cry out!
