Psalm 20 - English Standard Version 2016

Trust in the Name of the Lord Our God

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

¹ May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May 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 fulfill all your plans!

⁵ May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our God set up our 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 the saving might of his right hand.

⁷ Some trust in chariots and some in horses, 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 the king! May he answer us when we call.
