Psalm 20

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

May the LORD give you answers when you're in distress;
may the God served by Jacob protect you as well.
May the help from his temple provide you redress;
may he come to your rescue from his Holy Hill.

May your gifts be remembered and held in regard;
may he favor the balm from your offerings' fire.
Selah [Interlude]
May he grant you the hopes and the dreams of your heart,
may he bring to fruition the plans you desire.

May we sing now with joy for your struggles are done,​
in the name of our God, raise our banner and voice!
May the LORD answer all your requests, one by one!
Now I know that the LORD saves the king of his choice.

He will answer from his holy heaven above,
with the power and strength of his mighty right hand.
Some trust chariots, some — it's their horses they love,
but we trust in the LORD, in whose name do we stand. 

​When the nations collapse and they fall to their knees,
we'll be strong and rise up and stand firm through it all.
LORD, deliver the king all his earned victories!
May you hear us and answer that day when we call.
