20 1 The LORD answer you in the day of trouble!
The name of the God of Jacob protect you!
20 2 May he send you help from the sanctuary,
and give you support from Zion!
20 3 May he remember all your offerings,
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah
20 4 May he grant you your heart's desire,
and fulfil all your plans!
20 5 May we shout for joy over your victory,
and in the name of our God set up our banners!
May the LORD fulfil all your petitions!
20 6 Now I know that the LORD will help his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven with mighty victories by his right hand.
20 7 Some boast of chariots, and some of horses;
but we boast of the name of the LORD our God.
20 8 They will collapse and fall;
but we shall rise and stand upright.
20 9 Give victory to the king, O Lord;
answer us when we call.
