Psalms 20
Psalm 20[a]
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;(a)
may the name of the God of Jacob(b) protect you.(c)
2 May he send you help(d) from the sanctuary(e)
and grant you support(f) from Zion.(g)
3 May he remember(h) all your sacrifices
and accept your burnt offerings.[b](i)
4 May he give you the desire of your heart(j)
and make all your plans succeed.(k)
5 May we shout for joy(l) over your victory
and lift up our banners(m) in the name of our God.
May the Lord grant all your requests.(n)
6 Now this I know:
The Lord gives victory to his anointed.(o)
He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary
with the victorious power of his right hand.(p)
7 Some trust in chariots(q) and some in horses,(r)
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.(s)
8 They are brought to their knees and fall,(t)
but we rise up(u) and stand firm.(v)
9 Lord, give victory to the king!
Answer us(w) when we call!
