| Chapter 20 |
1 | To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob;
|
2 | May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion;
|
3 | May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah.)
|
4 | May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.
|
5 | We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.
|
6 | Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.
|
7 | Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.
|
8 | They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.
|
9 | Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.
