PSALM 20
Prayer for Victory
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
20
The Lord answer you in the day of trouble!
The name of the God of Jacob protect you!
2
May he send you help from the sanctuary,
and give you support from Zion!
3
May he remember all your offerings,
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices!Selah
4
May he grant you your heart’s desire,
and fulfil all your plans!
5
May we shout for joy over your victory,
and in the name of our God set up our banners!
May the Lord fulfil all your petitions!
6
Now I know that the Lord will help his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with mighty victories by his right hand.
7
Some boast of chariots, and some of horses;
but we boast of the name of the Lord our God.
8
They will collapse and fall;
but we shall rise and stand upright.
9
Give victory to the king, O Lord;
answer us when we call.
