Psalms • Chapter 20

1 In times of trouble, may the LORD answer your cry.<br>May the name of the God (Elohim) of Jacob keep you safe from all harm.<br> 2 May he send you help from his sanctuary<br>and strengthen you from Jerusalem.<br> 3 May he remember all your gifts<br>and look favorably on your burnt offerings. <i>Interlude</i><br> 4 May he grant your heart’s desires<br>and make all your plans succeed.<br> 5 May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory<br>and raise a victory banner in the name of our God (Elohim).<br>May the LORD answer all your prayers.<br> 6 Now I know that the LORD rescues his anointed king.<br>He will answer him from his holy heaven<br>and rescue him by his great power.<br> 7 Some nations boast of their chariots and horses,<br>but we boast in the name of the LORD our God (Elohim).<br> 8 Those nations will fall down and collapse,<br>but we will rise up and stand firm.<br> 9 Give victory to our king, O LORD!<br>Answer our cry for help.<br>
