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.

Psalms 20
20
For the choir director: A psalm of David.
1In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry.
May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm.
2May he send you help from his sanctuary
and strengthen you from Jerusalem.#20:2 Hebrew Zion.
3May he remember all your gifts
and look favorably on your burnt offerings. Interlude
4May he grant your heart’s desires
and make all your plans succeed.
5May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory
and raise a victory banner in the name of our God.
May the Lord answer all your prayers.
6Now I know that the Lord rescues his anointed king.
He will answer him from his holy heaven
and rescue him by his great power.
7Some nations boast of their chariots and horses,
but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.
8Those nations will fall down and collapse,
but we will rise up and stand firm.
9Give victory to our king, O Lord!
Answer our cry for help.
