Psalms 20

   |   

Trust in the Name of the Lord Our God

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 May the Lord (a)answer you in the day of trouble!
    May (b)the name of the God of Jacob (c)protect you!
2 May he send you help from (d)the sanctuary
    and give you support from (e)Zion!
3 May he (f)remember all your offerings
    and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah

4 May he (g)grant you your heart's desire
    and fulfill all your plans!
5 May we shout for joy over (h)your salvation,
    and in the name of our God set up our (i)banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!

6 Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;
    he will answer him from his holy heaven
    with (j)the saving might of his right hand.
7 Some trust in (k)chariots and some in (l)horses,
    (m)but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8 They collapse and fall,
    but we rise and stand upright.

9 O Lord, save (n)the king!
    May he answer us when we call.
