PSALM 20

David prays that the Lord will hear in time of trouble-The Lord saves his anointed.

TO THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, A PSALM OF DAVID.

  1 The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

  2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

  3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

  4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

  5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

  6 Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

  7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

  8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

  9 Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
