Psalms 20
The Day of Trouble
1May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble!
May the name of the God of Jacob protect you! 2 May he send you help from the sanctuary
and give you support from Zion! 3 May he remember all your offerings
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah
4 May he grant you your heart's desire
and fulfill all your plans! 5 May we shout for joy over your salvation,
and in the name of our God set up our banners!
May the LORD fulfill all your petitions!
6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with the saving might of his right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. 8 They collapse and fall,
but we rise and stand upright.
9 O LORD, save the king!
May he answer us when we call.
