Psalms 20
Chapter 20 of 150
1 Prayer for the King in Time of War. For the leader. A psalm of David.
2 The Lord answer you in time of distress; the name of the God of Jacob defend you!
3 May he send you help from the sanctuary, from Zion be your support.
4 May he remember your every offering, graciously accept your burnt offering,
5 Grant what is in your heart, fulfill your every plan.
6 May we shout for joy at your victory, raise the banners in the name of our God. The Lord grant your every petition!
7 Now I know the Lord gives victory to his anointed. He will answer him from the holy heavens with a strong arm that brings victory.
8 Some rely on chariots, others on horses, but we on the name of the Lord our God.
9 They collapse and fall but we stand strong and firm.
10 Lord, grant victory to the king; answer when we call upon you.
