20
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
 
2 May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
3 May he send you help from the sanctuary
and sustain you from Zion.
4 May he remember all your gifts
and look favorably on your burnt offerings.
Selah
5 May he give you the desires of your heart
and make all your plans succeed.
6 May we shout for joy at your victory
and raise a banner in the name of our God.
May the LORD grant all your petitions.
 
7 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;
he answers him from his holy heaven
with the saving power of his right hand.
8 Some trust in chariots and others in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
9 They collapse and fall,
but we rise up and stand firm.
10 O LORD, give victory!*
May the King answer us on the day we call.†
