Psalm 20

World English Bible

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

20 May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble.
    May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,
²    send you help from the sanctuary,
    grant you support from Zion,
³    remember all your offerings,
    and accept your burned sacrifice. Selah.
⁴May he grant you your heart’s desire,
    and fulfill all your counsel.
⁵We will triumph in your salvation.
    In the name of our God, we will set up our banners.
    May Yahweh grant all your requests.
⁶Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed.
    He will answer him from his holy heaven,
    with the saving strength of his right hand.
⁷Some trust in chariots, and some in horses,
    but we trust in the name of Yahweh our God.
⁸They are bowed down and fallen,
    but we rise up, and stand upright.
⁹Save, Yahweh!
    Let the King answer us when we call!
