Psalm 20
For the music director, a psalm of David.
20:1 May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble;
may the God of Jacob make you secure.
20:2 May he send you help from his temple;
from Zion may he give you support.
20:3 May he take notice of all your offerings;
may he accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)
20:4 May he grant your heart’s desire;
may he bring all your plans to pass.
20:5 Then we will shout for joy over your victory;
we will rejoice in the name of our God.
May the Lord grant all your requests.
20:6 Now I am sure that the Lord will deliver his chosen king;
he will intervene for him from his holy, heavenly temple,
and display his mighty ability to deliver.
20:7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses,
but we depend on the Lord our God.
20:8 They will fall down,
but we will stand firm.
20:9 The Lord will deliver the king;
he will answer us when we call to him for help!
