祈耶和华援其受膏者使之得胜

20 大卫的诗,交于伶长。

愿耶和华在你遭难的日子应允你,愿名为雅各神的高举你。
愿他从圣所救助你,从锡安坚固你;
记念你的一切供献,悦纳你的燔祭;(细拉)
将你心所愿的赐给你,成就你的一切筹算。
我们要因你的救恩夸胜,要奉我们神的名竖立旌旗。愿耶和华成就你一切所求的!
现在我知道耶和华救护他的受膏者,必从他的圣天上应允他,用右手的能力救护他。
有人靠车,有人靠马,但我们要提到耶和华我们神的名。
他们都屈身仆倒,我们却起来,立得正直。
求耶和华施行拯救,我们呼求的时候,愿王应允我们!

Psalm 20

A Prayer for Victory for the King

Heading
For the choir director. A psalm by David.

The People’s Prayer

May the Lord answer you in the day of distress.
May the name of the God of Jacob lift you up.
May he send you help from the holy place.
May he support you from Zion.
May he remember all your sacrificial gifts. Interlude
May he accept your burnt offerings.
May he give you whatever your heart desires.
May he fulfill all your plans.
We will shout joyfully when God saves you.
In the name of our God we will lift up our banners.
May the Lord fulfill all your prayers.

The King’s Response

Now I know that the Lord saves his Anointed.[a]
He answers him from his holy heavens
    with powerful acts of salvation from his right hand.

The People’s Prayer

Some rely on chariots, and some on horses,
but we rely on the name of the Lord our God.
They are brought to their knees and fall,
but we rise up and stand firm.
Lord, save the king! Answer us in the day we call!
