Psalms 20

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

The Day of Trouble

1 May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble;may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

May He send you help from the sanctuaryand sustain you from Zion.

May He remember all your giftsand look favorably on your burnt offerings.Selah

May He give you the desires of your heartand make all your plans succeed.

May we shout for joy at your victoryand raise a banner in the name of our God.May the LORD grant all your petitions.

Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed;He answers him from His holy heavenwith the saving power of His right hand.

Some trust in chariots and others in horses,but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

They collapse and fall,but we rise up and stand firm.

O LORD, save the king.Answer us on the day we call.Or give victory to
