Psalm 20

For the choir director; a psalm by David.

Yahweh will answer you in times of trouble.
    The name of the Elohim of Jacob will protect you.
He will send you help from his holy place
    and support you from Zion.
He will remember all your grain offerings
    and look with favor on your burnt offerings. Selah
He will give you your heart’s desire
    and carry out all your plans.

We will joyfully sing about your victory.
    We will wave our flags in the name of our Elohim.
    Yahweh will fulfill all your requests.

Now I know that Yahweh will give victory to his anointed king.
    He will answer him from his holy heaven
        with mighty deeds of his powerful hand.
Some rely on chariots and others on horses,
    but we will boast in the name of Yahweh our Elohim.
        They will sink to their knees and fall,
            but we will rise and stand firm.

Give victory to the king, O Yahweh.
    Answer us when we call.

Trust in the Name of the Lord Our God

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

20 May the Lord (A)answer you in the day of trouble!
    May (B)the name of the God of Jacob (C)protect you!
May he send you help from (D)the sanctuary
    and give you support from (E)Zion!
May he (F)remember all your offerings
    and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah

May he (G)grant you your heart's desire
    and fulfill all your plans!
May we shout for joy over (H)your salvation,
    and in the name of our God set up our (I)banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!

Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;
    he will answer him from his holy heaven
    with (J)the saving might of his right hand.
Some trust in (K)chariots and some in (L)horses,
    (M)but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
They collapse and fall,
    but we rise and stand upright.

O Lord, save (N)the king!
    May he answer us when we call.
