Psalm 20 | King James Version

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; 2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; 3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. 4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. 5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. 6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. 8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. 9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 May the LORD answer you when you are in trouble. May the God of Jacob keep you safe. 2 May he send you help from the sacred tent. May he give you aid from Zion. 3 May he remember all your sacrifices. May he accept your burnt offerings. 4 May he give you what your heart wishes for. May he make all your plans succeed. 5 May we shout for joy over your victory. May we lift up our flags in the name of our God. May the LORD give you everything you ask for. 6 Now I know that the LORD gives victory to his anointed king. He answers him from his sacred home in heaven. The power of God’s right hand gives victory to the king. 7 Some trust in chariots. Some trust in horses. But we trust in the LORD our God. 8 They are brought to their knees and fall down. But we get up and stand firm. 9 LORD, give victory to the king! Answer us when we call out to you!
