Psalm 20:5-9

Contemporary English Version

⁶ I am certain, Lord,
that you will help
    your chosen king.
You will answer my prayers
from your holy place
    in heaven,
and you will save me
    with your mighty arm.

⁷ Some people trust the power
of chariots or horses,
    but we trust you, Lord God.
⁸ Others will stumble and fall,
but we will be strong
    and stand firm.

⁹ Give the king victory, Lord,
    and answer our prayers.^[a]
