Psalms 20
Prayer for Victory over Enemies.
1 May the LORD answer you (C1)on a day of trouble!
May the (C2)name of the (C3)God of Jacob (F1)protect you!
2 May He send you help (C1)from the sanctuary,
And (C2)support you from Zion!
3 May He (C1)remember all your meal offerings
And (F1)(C2)accept your burnt offering! Selah
4 May He grant you your (C1)heart's desire
And (C2)fulfill your whole plan!
5 (F1)We will (C1)sing for joy over your (F2)victory,
And in the name of our God we will (C2)set up our banners.
May the LORD (C3)fulfill all your desires.
6 Now (C1)I know that the LORD saves His anointed;
He will (C2)answer him from His holy heaven
With the (F1)(C3)saving strength of His right hand.
7 Some praise their chariots and some their (C1)horses,
But (C2)we will praise the name of the LORD, our God.
8 They have (C1)bowed down and fallen,
But we have (C2)risen and stood upright.
9 (F1)(C1)Save, LORD;
May the (C2)King answer us on the day we call.
