Psalm 20

ESV

MSG

1 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!
1 God answer you on the day you crash, The name God-of-Jacob put you out of harm's reach,
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion!
2 Send reinforcements from Holy Hill, Dispatch from Zion fresh supplies,
3 May he remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah
3 Exclaim over your offerings, Celebrate your sacrifices,
4 May he grant you your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans!
4 Give you what your heart desires, Accomplish your plans.
5 May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!
5 When you win, we plan to raise the roof and lead the parade with our banners. May all your wishes come true!
6 Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand.
6 That clinches it - help's coming, an answer's on the way, everything's going to work out.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
7 See those people polishing their chariots, and those others grooming their horses? But we're making garlands for God our God.
8 They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright.
8 The chariots will rust, those horses pull up lame - and we'll be on our feet, standing tall.
9 O Lord, save the king! May he answer us when we call.
9 Make the king a winner, God; the day we call, give us your answer.
