Psalm 20

Prayer for Victory over Enemies.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1 May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high!
2 May He send you help from the sanctuary And support you from Zion!
3 May He remember all your meal offerings And find your burnt offering acceptable! Selah.
4 May He grant you your heart's desire And fulfill all your counsel!
5 We will sing for joy over your victory, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.
6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand.
7 Some boast in chariots and some in horses, But we will boast in the name of the LORD, our God.
8 They have bowed down and fallen, But we have risen and stood upright.
9 Save, O LORD; May the King answer us in the day we call.
