Psalms 20

A Prayer for the King

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 May the Lord answer you in times of trouble.
    May the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from his Temple
    and support you from Mount Zion.
3 May he remember all your offerings
    and accept all your sacrifices. Selah
4 May he give you what you want
    and make all your plans succeed,
5 and we will shout for joy when you succeed,
    and we will raise a flag in the name of our God.
May the Lord give you all that you ask for.

6 Now I know the Lord helps his appointed king.
    He answers him from his holy heaven
    and saves him with his strong right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, others in horses,
    but we trust the Lord our God.
8 They are overwhelmed and defeated,
    but we march forward and win.
9 Lord, save the king!
    Answer us when we call for help.
