Psalms 20

Psalm 20

¹The Lord will answer you in times of trouble.

The name of the God of Jacob will protect you.

²He will send you help from his holy place

and support you from Zion.

³He will remember all your grain offerings

and look with favor on your burnt offerings. Selah

⁴He will give you your heart’s desire

and carry out all your plans.

⁵We will joyfully sing about your victory.

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

The Lord will fulfill all your requests.

⁶Now I know that the Lord will give victory to his anointed king.

He will answer him from his holy heaven

with mighty deeds of his powerful hand.

⁷Some ⌞rely⌟ on chariots and others on horses,

but we will boast in the name of the Lord our God.

⁸They will sink to their knees and fall,

but we will rise and stand firm.

⁹Give victory to the king, O Lord .

Answer us when we call.
