Prayer for Victory over Enemies.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

20 May the Lord answer you (A)on a day of trouble!
May the (B)name of the (C)God of Jacob [a]protect you!
May He send you help (D)from the sanctuary,
And (E)support you from Zion!
May He (F)remember all your meal offerings
And [b](G)accept your burnt offering! Selah

May He grant you your (H)heart’s desire
And (I)fulfill your whole plan!
[c]We will (J)sing for joy over your [d]victory,
And in the name of our God we will (K)set up our banners.
May the Lord (L)fulfill all your desires.

Now (M)I know that the Lord saves His anointed;
He will (N)answer him from His holy heaven
With the [e](O)saving strength of His right hand.
Some praise their chariots and some their (P)horses,
But (Q)we will praise the name of the Lord, our God.
They have (R)bowed down and fallen,
But we have (S)risen and stood upright.
[f](T)Save, Lord;
May the (U)King answer us on the day we call.

Anhelo de liberación y victoria

20 Al músico principal. Salmo de David.El SEÑOR te responda en el día

de angustia;
el nombre del Dios de Jacob te defienda.
Él te envíe ayuda desde su santuario
y te sostenga desde Sion.
Tenga él memoria de tus ofrendas
y acepte tu holocausto. Selah[a]
Él te dé conforme a tu corazón
y cumpla todos tus planes.
Nosotros nos alegraremos por tu salvación,
y en el nombre de nuestro Dios
alzaremos bandera.
Cumpla el SEÑOR todos tus anhelos.
Ahora reconozco que el SEÑOR da la victoria a su ungido;
le responderá desde su santo cielo con la fuerza liberadora de su diestra.
Estos confían en carros,
y aquellos en caballos;
pero nosotros confiamos
en el nombre del SEÑOR nuestro Dios.
Ellos se doblegan y caen,
pero nosotros nos levantamos
y estamos firmes.
¡Salva, oh SEÑOR!
¡Que el Rey nos oiga el día en que
le invoquemos!

  1. Salmos 20:3 Posiblemente tiene que ver con el acompañamiento musical.

20 The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
