1 1 1 For the director of music. A psalm of David. 1 +020:1-9 is numbered 20:2-10 in Hebrew texts.+1
1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; 1 may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary 2 and grant you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices 3 and accept your burnt offerings.[a]
4 May he give you the desire of your heart 4 and make all your plans succeed.
5 May we shout for joy over your victory 5 and lift up our banners in the name of our God. 5 May the Lord grant all your requests.
6 Now this I know: 6 The Lord gives victory to his anointed. 6 He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary 6 with the victorious power of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, 7 but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought to their knees and fall, 8 but we rise up and stand firm.
9 Lord, give victory to the king! 9 Answer us when we call!
