    Psalm 20

    For the music leader. A psalm of David.

    20 I pray that the Lord answers you
            whenever you are in trouble.
        Let the name of Jacob’s God protect you.
    Let God send help to you from the sanctuary
        and support you from Zion.
    Let God recall your many grain offerings;
        let him savor your entirely burned offerings. Selah
    Let God grant what is in your heart
        and fulfill all your plans.
    Then we will rejoice that you’ve been helped.
        We will fly our flags in the name of our God.
        Let the Lord fulfill all your requests!

    Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed one;
        God answers his anointed one
            from his heavenly sanctuary,
        answering with mighty acts of salvation
            achieved by his strong hand.
    Some people trust in chariots, others in horses;
        but we praise the Lord’s name.
    They will collapse and fall,
        but we will stand up straight and strong.

    Lord, save the king!
        Let him answer us when we cry out!
