PSALM 20
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1 JEHOVAH hear thee in the day
when trouble he doth send:
And let the name of Jacob's God
thee from all ill defend.
2O let him help send from above,
out of his sanctuary:
From Sion, his own holy hill,
let him give strength to thee.
3Let him remember all thy gifts,
accept thy sacrifice:
4Grant thee thine heart's wish, and fulfil
thy thoughts and counsel wise.
5In thy salvation we will joy;
in our God's name we will
Display our banners: and the Lord
thy prayers all fulfil.
6Now know I God his king doth save:
he from his holy heav'n
Will hear him, with the saving strength
by his own right hand giv'n.
7In chariots some put confidence,
some horses trust upon:
But we remember will the name
of our Lord God alone.
8We rise, and upright stand, when they
are bowed down, and fall.
9Deliver, Lord; and let the King
us hear, when we do call.

Psalm 20
20
Psalm 20
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble.
May the God of Jacob keep you safe.
2May he send you help from the sacred tent.
May he give you aid from Zion.
3May he remember all your sacrifices.
May he accept your burnt offerings.
4May he give you what your heart wishes for.
May he make all your plans succeed.
5May we shout for joy over your victory.
May we lift up our flags in the name of our God.
May the Lord give you everything you ask for.
6Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his anointed king.
He answers him from his sacred home in heaven.
The power of God’s right hand gives victory to the king.
7Some trust in chariots. Some trust in horses.
But we trust in the Lord our God.
8They are brought to their knees and fall down.
But we get up and stand firm.
9 Lord, give victory to the king!
Answer us when we call out to you!
