Psalm 20
20
Trust in the Name of the Lord Our God
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1May the Lord #[Gen. 35:3] answer you in the day of trouble!
May #Prov. 18:10 the name of the God of Jacob #Ps. 59:1; 69:29protect you!
2May he send you help from #Ps. 73:17; 2 Chr. 20:8 the sanctuary
and give you support from #Ps. 128:5Zion!
3May he #[Acts 10:4]remember all your offerings
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah
4May he #Ps. 21:2grant you your heart’s desire
and fulfill all your plans!
5May we shout for joy over #Ps. 9:14 your salvation,
and in the name of our God set up our #Ps. 60:4; Song 6:4, 10banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!
6Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with #[Ps. 28:8]the saving might of his right hand.
7Some trust in #Isa. 31:1; 36:9 chariots and some in #Prov. 21:31 horses,
# [1 Sam. 17:45; 2 Chr. 32:8] but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8They collapse and fall,
but we rise and stand upright.
9O Lord, save #Ps. 48:2the king!
May he answer us when we call.

PSALM 20.
1Unto the end. A psalm for David.
2In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.
3Thou hast given him his heart's desire: end hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.
4For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
5He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
6His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.
7For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.
8For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
9Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.
10Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.
11Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.
12For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.
13For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.
14Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.
