Psalms 20

¹For the music director. A psalm of David. May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of Jacob’s God protect you. ²May he send you help from the sanctuary, and from Zion may he sustain you. ³May he remember all your offerings, and your burnt offering may he ⌞regard favorably⌟. ⁴May he give to you ⌞your heart’s desire⌟, and your every plan may he fulfill. Selah ⁵May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God may we set up banners. May Yahweh fulfill all your requests. ⁶Now I know that Yahweh will help his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the victorious power of his right hand. ⁷⌞Some boast in chariots and others in horses⌟, but we boast in the name of Yahweh, our God. ⁸They will collapse and fall, and we will rise and stand firm. ⁹Rescue, O Yahweh. Let the king answer us when we call.
