Psalms 20

1 The LORD will answer you in times of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob will protect you.
2 He will send you help from his holy place and support you from Zion.
3 He will remember all your grain offerings and look with favor on your burnt offerings. Selah
4 He will give you your heart's desire and carry out all your plans.
5 We will joyfully sing about your victory. We will wave our flags in the name of our God. The LORD will fulfill all your requests.
6 Now I know that the LORD will give victory to his anointed king. He will answer him from his holy heaven with mighty deeds of his powerful hand.
7 Some [rely] on chariots and others on horses, but we will boast in the name of the LORD our God.
8 They will sink to their knees and fall, but we will rise and stand firm.
9 Give victory to the king, O LORD. Answer us when we call.

Psalms 21

1 The king finds joy in your strength, O LORD. What great joy he has in your victory!
2 You gave him his heart's desire. You did not refuse the prayer from his lips. Selah
3 You welcomed him with the blessings of good things and set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4 He asked you for life. You gave him a long life, forever and ever.
5 Because of your victory his glory is great. You place splendor and majesty on him.
6 Yes, you made him a blessing forever. You made him glad with the joy of your presence.
7 Indeed, the king trusts the LORD, and through the mercy of the Most High, he will not be moved.
8 Your hand will discover all your enemies. Your powerful hand will find all who hate you.
9 When you appear, you will make them [burn] like a blazing furnace. The LORD will swallow them up in his anger. Fire will devour them.
10 You will destroy their children from the earth and their offspring from among Adam's descendants.
11 Although they scheme and plan evil against you, they will not succeed.
12 They turn their backs [and flee] because you aim your bow at their faces.
13 Arise, O LORD, in your strength. We will sing and make music to praise your power.

Psalms 22

1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away from helping me, so far away from the words of my groaning?
2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer-- also at night, but I find no rest.
3 Yet, you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4 Our ancestors trusted you. They trusted, and you rescued them.
5 They cried to you and were saved. They trusted you and were never disappointed.
6 Yet, I am a worm and not a man. I am scorned by humanity and despised by people.
7 All who see me make fun of me. Insults pour from their mouths. They shake their heads and say,
8 "Put yourself in the LORD's hands. Let the LORD save him! Let God rescue him since he is pleased with him!"
9 Indeed, you are the one who brought me out of the womb, the one who made me feel safe at my mother's breasts.
10 I was placed in your care from birth. From my mother's womb you have been my God.
11 Do not be so far away from me. Trouble is near, and there is no one to help.
12 Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls from Bashan have encircled me.
13 They have opened their mouths to attack me like ferocious, roaring lions.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It has melted within me.
15 My strength is dried up like pieces of broken pottery. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me down in the dust of death.
16 Dogs have surrounded me. A mob has encircled me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
17 I can count all my bones. People stare. They gloat over me.
18 They divide my clothes among themselves. They throw dice for my clothing.
19 Do not be so far away, O LORD. Come quickly to help me, O my strength.
20 Rescue my soul from the sword, my life from vicious dogs.
21 Save me from the mouth of the lion and from the horns of wild oxen. You have answered me.
22 I will tell my people about your name. I will praise you within the congregation.
23 All who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel.
24 The LORD has not despised or been disgusted with the plight of the oppressed one. He has not hidden his face from that person. The LORD heard when that oppressed person cried out to him for help.
25 My praise comes from you while I am among those assembled for worship. I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who fear the LORD.
26 Oppressed people will eat until they are full. Those who look to the LORD will praise him. May you live forever.
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and return to the LORD. All the families from all the nations will worship you
28 because the kingdom belongs to the LORD and he rules the nations.
29 All prosperous people on earth will eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust will kneel in front of him, even those who are barely alive.
30 There will be descendants who serve him, a generation that will be told about the Lord.
31 They will tell people yet to be born about his righteousness-- that he has finished it.
