Psalm 20In Hebrew texts 20:1-9 is numbered 20:2-10. 20

₁May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;

may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

₂May he send you help from the sanctuary

and grant you support from Zion.

₃May he remember all your sacrifices

and accept your burnt offerings.

₄May he give you the desire of your heart

and make all your plans succeed.

₅May we shout for joy over your victory

and lift up our banners in the name of our God.

May the Lord grant all your requests.

₆Now this I know:

the Lord gives victory to his anointed.

He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary

with the victorious power of his right hand.

₇Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

₈They are brought to their knees and fall,

but we rise up and stand firm.

₉Lord, give victory to the king!

Answer us when we call!
