Psalms 20

1Prayer for victory over enemies.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble;The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;2Send thee help from the sanctuary,And 1strengthen thee out of Zion;3Remember all thy 2offerings,And 3accept thy burnt-sacrifice; Selah4Grant thee thy heart’s desire,And fulfil all thy counsel.5We will triumph in thy 4salvation,And in the name of our God we will set up our banners:Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.6Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed;He will answer him from his holy heavenWith the saving strength of his right hand.7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.8They are bowed down and fallen;But we are risen, and stand upright.9Save, Jehovah:Let the King answer us when we call.
