Psalm 20 (New International Version)

Psalm 20

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

 ¹ May the LORD answer you when you are in distress;
       may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

 ² May he send you help from the sanctuary
       and grant you support from Zion.

 ³ May he remember all your sacrifices
       and accept your burnt offerings.
       Selah

 ⁴ May he give you the desire of your heart
       and make all your plans succeed.

 ⁵ We will shout for joy when you are victorious
       and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.
       May the LORD grant all your requests.

 ⁶ Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;
       he answers him from his holy heaven
       with the saving power 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 are brought to their knees and fall,
       but we rise up and stand firm.

 ⁹ O LORD, save the king!
       Answer ^[a] us when we call!
