Psalms 20
We Will Boast in the Name of Yahweh
1 May Yahweh answer you (C1)in the day of distress!
May the (C2)name of the (C3)God of Jacob set you securely on high!
2 May He send you help (C1)from the sanctuary
And (C2)uphold you from Zion!
3 May He (C1)remember all your meal offerings
And (C2)find your burnt offering (F1)acceptable! Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude">(F2)Selah.
4 May He grant you your (C1)heart's desire
And (C2)fulfill all your (F1)counsel!
5 (F1)We will (C1)sing for joy over your salvation,
And in the name of our God we will (C2)set up our banners.
May Yahweh (C3)fulfill all your petitions.
6 Now (C1)I know that Yahweh saves His anointed;
He will (C2)answer him from His holy heaven
With the (F1)(C3)saving might of His right hand.
7 Some boast in chariots and some in (C1)horses,
But (C2)we will (F1)boast in the name of Yahweh, our God.
8 They have (C1)bowed down and fallen,
But we have (C2)risen and stood upright.
9 (F1)(C1)Save, O Yahweh;
May the (C2)King answer us in the day we call.
