PSALMS 诗篇020

PSALM¹ 20
1May the Lord answer you when you are in distress²; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2May he send you help from the sanctuary³ and grant you support from Zion.
3May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. Selah
4May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
5We will shout for joy when you are victorious⁴ and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all your requests.
6Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand.
7Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
9O Lord , save the king! Answer us when we call!
