Psalms 20

2 May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem.*²

3 May he remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. Interlude

4 May he grant your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans.

5 May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory, flying banners to honor our God. May the LORD answer all your prayers.

6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed king. He will answer him from his holy heaven and rescue him by his great power.

7 Some nations boast of their armies and weapons,* but we boast in the LORD our God.³

8 Those nations will fall down and collapse, but we will rise up and stand firm.

9 Give victory to our king, O LORD! Respond to our cry for help.
