Psa20

Psalms – Chapter 20

¹For the leader. A psalm of David.

I

²The LORD answer you in time of distress;

the name of the God of Jacob defend you!

³May he send you help from the sanctuary,

from Zion be your support.

⁴May he remember your every offering,

graciously accept your burnt offering,

Selah

⁵Grant what is in your heart,

fulfill your every plan.

⁶May we shout for joy at your victory,

raise the banners in the name of our God.

The LORD grant your every petition!

II

⁷Now I know the LORD gives victory

to his anointed.

He will answer him from the holy heavens

with a strong arm that brings victory.

⁸Some rely on chariots, others on horses,

but we on the name of the LORD our God.

⁹They collapse and fall,

but we stand strong and firm.

¹⁰LORD, grant victory to the king;

answer when we call upon you.
