Psalms 20

  1. 1

    For the music director, a psalm of David. May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble; may the God of Jacob make you secure.

  2. 2

    May he send you help from his temple; from Zion may he give you support.

  3. 3

    May he take notice of all your offerings; may he accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

  4. 4

    May he grant your heart’s desire; may he bring all your plans to pass.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 7

    Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we depend on the Lord our God.

  8. 8

    They will fall down, but we will stand firm.

  9. 9

    The Lord will deliver the king; he will answer us when we call to him for help!
