20:1   (A psalm by David for the music leader.) I pray that the LORD will listen when you are in trouble, and that the God of Jacob will keep you safe.

20:2   May the LORD send help from his temple and come to your rescue from Mount Zion.

20:3   May he remember your gifts and be pleased with what you bring.

20:4   May God do what you want most and let all go well for you.

20:5   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!

20:6   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.

20:7   Some people trust the power of chariots or horses, but we trust you, LORD God.

20:8   Others will stumble and fall, but we will be strong and stand firm.

20:9   Give the king victory, LORD, and answer our prayers.
