Psalm 20

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

20 May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble.

    May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

2 send you help from the sanctuary,

    grant you support from Zion,

3 remember all your offerings,

    and accept your burned sacrifice. Selah.

4 May he grant you your heart’s desire,

    and fulfill all your counsel.

5 We will triumph in your salvation.

    In the name of our God, we will set up our banners.

    May Yahweh grant all your requests.

6 Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed.

    He will answer him from his holy heaven,

    with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses,

    but we trust in the name of Yahweh our God.

8 They are bowed down and fallen,

    but we rise up, and stand upright.

9 Save, Yahweh!

    Let the King answer us when we call!
