Psalm 20:1-9
[1]May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;
    may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
[2]May he send you help from the sanctuary
    and grant you support from Zion.
[3]May he remember all your sacrifices
    and accept your burnt offerings.
[4]May he give you the desire of your heart
    and make all your plans succeed.
[5]May we shout for joy over your victory
    and lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the Lord grant all your requests.
[6]Now this I know:
    The Lord gives victory to his anointed.
He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary
    with the victorious power of his right hand.
[7]Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
    but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
[8]They are brought to their knees and fall,
    but we rise up and stand firm.
[9]Lord, give victory to the king!
    Answer us when we call!
