Psalm 20

1May Yahweh answer you in the day of adversity; may the name of the God of Jacob exalt you.

2May he send you help from the sanctuary and support you from Zion.

3May he remember all your offerings and accept your burnt offering. Selah.

4May he give you what your heart desires, and accomplish all your counsel.

5We will shout for joy in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will raise our banners; may Yahweh fulfill all your petitions.

6Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand.

7Some rely on chariots, and some on horses, but we remember the name of Yahweh our God.

8They bow down and fall, but we rise and stand firm.

9Yahweh, save! Let the king answer us when we call.
