20:1  To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The LORD answer you in the day of trouble! The name of the God of Jacob protect you!

20:2  May he send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion!

20:3  May he remember all your offerings, and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! [Selah]

20:4  May he grant you your heart's desire, and fulfil all your plans!

20:5  May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the LORD fulfil all your petitions!

20:6  Now I know that the LORD will help his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with mighty victories by his right hand.

20:7  Some boast of chariots, and some of horses; but we boast of the name of the LORD our God.

20:8  They will collapse and fall; but we shall rise and stand upright.

20:9  Give victory to the king, O LORD; answer us when we call.
