Psalm 20 - Revised Standard Version

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

¹ The Lord answer you in the day of trouble! The name of the God of Jacob protect you!

² May he send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion!

³ May he remember all your offerings, and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah

⁴ May he grant you your heart's desire, and fulfil all your plans!

⁵ May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the Lord fulfil all your petitions!

⁶ Now I know that the Lord will help his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with mighty victories by his right hand.

⁷ Some boast of chariots, and some of horses; but we boast of the name of the Lord our God.

⁸ They will collapse and fall; but we shall rise and stand upright.

⁹ Give victory to the king, O Lord; answer us when we call.
