Psalms 20

¹ For the leader. A psalm of David.

² The LORD answer you in time of distress; the name of the God of Jacob defend you!

³ May God send you help from the temple, from Zion be your support.

⁴ May God remember your every offering, graciously accept your holocaust, Selah

⁵ Grant what is in your heart, fulfill your every plan.

⁶ May we shout for joy at your victory, raise the banners in the name of our God. The LORD grant your every prayer!

⁷ Now I know victory is given to the anointed of the LORD. God will answer him from the holy heavens with a strong arm that brings victory.

⁸ Some rely on chariots, others on horses, but we on the name of the LORD our God.

⁹ They collapse and fall, but we stand strong and firm.

¹⁰ LORD, grant victory to the king; answer when we call upon you.
