PSALM 20 11 11 11 11

1 May the LORD answer you when you cry in distress;
May Jacob’s God keep you, whose name you confess.
2 May God send assistance from his holy place,
And grant you from Zion support by his grace.

3 May God keep in mind every sacrifice made;
Accept on the altar your offerings laid.
4 And may he fulfil the desire of your heart—
Success to each one of your plans to impart.

5 With joy we will shout when your victory’s won;
We’ll lift up our banners in God’s name alone.
And so may the LORD hear your earnest request,
And answer your prayèrs as seems to him best.

6 Now truly I know that the LORD from above
Protects his anointed in covenant love;
From heav’n in his holiness God hears his cry,
And saves by the pow’r of his right hand on high.

7 In horses or chariots some trust for defence,
But the name of the LORD is our strong confidence.
8 They’re brought to their knees, while in strength we arise.
9 O LORD, save the king! Hear and answer our cries!
