Psalm 20
For the director of music. A psalm of David to the tune of "The Doe of the Morning."
1
May the LORD answer you when you are in trouble. May the God of Jacob keep you safe.
2
May he send you help from the sacred tent. May he give you aid from Zion.
3
May he remember all of your sacrifices. May he accept your burnt offerings. "Selah"
4
May he give you what your heart longs for. May he make all of your plans succeed.
5
We will shout with joy when you win the battle. We will lift up our flags in the name of our God. May the LORD give you everything you ask for.
6
Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed king. He answers him from his holy heaven. The power of God's right hand saves the king.
7
Some trust in chariots. Some trust in horses. But we trust in the LORD our God.
8
They are brought to their knees and fall down. But we get up and stand firm.
9
Lord, save the king! Answer us when we call out to you!
