Psalm 20
20:1 For the music director ; a psalm of David . May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble ; may the God of Jacob make you secure !
20:2 May he send you help from his temple ; from Zion may he give you support !
20:3 May he take notice of your offerings ; may he accept your burnt sacrifice ! (Selah )
20:4 May he grant your heart’s desire; may he bring all your plans to pass !
20:5 Then we will shout for joy over your victory ; we will rejoice in the name of our God ! May the Lord grant all your requests !
20:6 Now I am sure that the Lord will deliver his chosen king ; he will intervene for him from his holy heavenly temple, and display his mighty ability to deliver .
20:7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses , but we depend on the Lord our God .
