Psalms 20

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. May Yahweh help you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you

2 and send help from the holy place to support you from Zion.

3 May he call to mind all your offerings and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

4 May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans.

5 Then we will rejoice in your victory, and, in the name of our God, we will raise banners. May Yahweh grant all your petitions.

6 Now I know that Yahweh will rescue his anointed one; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the strength of his right hand that can rescue him.

7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we call on Yahweh our God.

8 They will be brought down and fall, but we will rise and stand upright!

9 Yahweh, rescue the king; help us when we call.
