Psalm 20

Exaudiat te Dominus
1
May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble, *
the Name of the God of Jacob defend you;
2
Send you help from his holy place *
and strengthen you out of Zion;
3
Remember all your offerings *
and accept your burnt sacrifice;
4
Grant you your heart’s desire *
and prosper all your plans.
5
We will shout for joy at your victory
and triumph in the Name of our God; *
may the Lord grant all your requests.
6
Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his anointed; *
he will answer him out of his holy heaven,
with the victorious strength of his right hand.
7
Some put their trust in chariots and some in horses, *
but we will call upon the Name of the Lord our God.
8
They collapse and fall down, *
but we will arise and stand upright.
9
O Lord, give victory to the king *
and answer us when we call.
