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.
