Psalms 20

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and watch over you from Zion.

3 May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.

4 May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.

5 We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.

6 May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

8 They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

9 O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.
