Psalm 20, NEW INTERNATIONAL READER’S VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble.
May the God of Jacob keep you safe.
 

2

May he send you help from the sacred tent.
May he give you aid from Zion.
 

3

May he remember all of your sacrifices.
May he accept your burnt offerings.
Selah
 

4

May he give you what your heart longs for.
May he make all of your plans succeed.
 

5

We will shout with joy when you win the battle.
We will lift up our flags in the name of our God.
May the Lord give you everything you ask for.
 

6

Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed king.
He answers him from his holy heaven.
The power of God’s right hand saves the king.
 

7

Some trust in chariots.  Some trust in horses.
But we trust in the Lord our God.
 

8

They are brought to their knees and fall down.
But we get up and stand firm.
 

9

Lord, save the king!
Answer us when we call out to you!
