Psalm 20

Deliverance in Battle

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.

¹May Yahweh answer you in a day of trouble;
may the name of Jacob’s God protect you.
²May He send you help from the sanctuary
and sustain you from Zion.
³May He remember all your offerings
and accept your burnt offering.Selah

⁴May He give you what your heart desires
and fulfill your whole purpose.
⁵Let us shout for joy at your victory
and lift the banner in the name of our God.
May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.

⁶Now I know that the Lord gives victory to His anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
with mighty victories from^[a] His right hand.
⁷Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses,
but we take pride in the name of Yahweh our God.
⁸They collapse and fall,
but we rise and stand firm.
⁹Lord, give victory to the king!
May He^[b] answer us on the day that we call.
