    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.
    2 Let God send help to you from the sanctuary
        and support you from Zion.
    3 Let God recall your many grain offerings;
        let him savor your entirely burned offerings. Selah
    4 Let God grant what is in your heart
        and fulfill all your plans.
    5 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!

    6 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.
    7 Some people trust in chariots, others in horses;
        but we praise the Lord’s name.
    8 They will collapse and fall,
        but we will stand up straight and strong.

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