Psalm 20

 I pray that the LORD

   will listen when you

   are in trouble,

   and that the God of Jacob

   will keep you safe.

    May the LORD send help

   from his temple

   and come to your rescue

   from Mount Zion.

    May he remember your gifts

   and be pleased

   with what you bring.

    May God do what you want most

   and let all go well for you.

    Then you will win victories,

   and we will celebrate,

   while raising our banners

   in the name of our God.

   May the LORD answer

   all of your prayers!

    I am certain, LORD,

   that you will help your chosen king.

  You will answer my prayers

   from your holy place in heaven,

   and you will save me

   with your mighty arm.

    Some people trust the power

   of chariots or horses,

   but we trust you, LORD God.

    Others will stumble and fall,

   but we will be strong and stand firm.

    Give the king victory, LORD,

   and answer our prayers.
