Psalms 20
Theme: A prayer for victory in battle. Such a prayer can help us prepare for any great challenge. David knew that trust should be placed in the Lord more than in human power.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; +
2Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; +
3Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. +
4Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. +
5We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. +
6Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. +
7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. +
8They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call. +
