Psalm 20 (The Message)
View In My Bible
1
God answer you on the day you crash, The name God-of-Jacob put you out of harm's reach,
2
Send reinforcements from Holy Hill, Dispatch from Zion fresh supplies,
3
Exclaim over your offerings, Celebrate your sacrifices,
4
Give you what your heart desires, Accomplish your plans.
5
When you win, we plan to raise the roof and lead the parade with our banners. May all your wishes come true!
6
That clinches it - help's coming, an answer's on the way, everything's going to work out.
7
See those people polishing their chariots, and those others grooming their horses? But we're making garlands for God our God.
8
The chariots will rust, those horses pull up lame - and we'll be on our feet, standing tall.
9
Make the king a winner, God; the day we call, give us your answer.
