Psalms 20



20

To the director.[95] A song of David.[96]

<1> May the Lord answer you in times of trouble.

May the God of Jacob[97] protect you.

<2> May he send you help from his Holy Place.

May he support you from Zion.[98]

<3> May he remember all the gifts you have offered.

May he accept all your sacrifices.[99]

Selah[100]

<4> May God give you what you really want.

May he make all your plans successful.

<5> We will celebrate when he helps you.

We will praise the name of God.

May the Lord give you everything you ask for.

<6> Now I know the Lord helps his chosen king.

From his holy heaven he answered.

With his great power he saved him.

<7> Some give the credit for victory to their chariots,[101] and soldiers,

but we honor the Lord our God.

<8> They fall in battle, totally defeated,

but we survive as the winners!

<9> Lord, save the king!

Answer us when we call to you for help.
