Psalms 20
Prayer for Victory over Enemies.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
1May the Lord answer you 1in the day of trouble! May the 2name of the 3God of Jacob set you securely on high!2May He send you help 4from the sanctuary And 5support you from Zion!3May He 6remember all your meal offerings And 7find your burnt offering 8acceptable! 9Selah.
4May He grant you your 10heart’s desire And 11fulfill all your 12counsel!513We will 14sing for joy over your 15victory, And in the name of our God we will 16set up our banners. May the Lord 17fulfill all your petitions.
6Now 18I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will 19answer him from His holy heaven With the 2021saving strength of His right hand.7Some 22boast in chariots and some in 23horses, But 24we 25will boast in the name of the Lord, our God.8They have 26bowed down and fallen, But we have 27risen and stood upright.92829Save, O Lord; May the 30King answer us in the day we call.
