Psalms

To the director. A melody of David.

20 May Jehovah answer you in the day of distress.

May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.+

2 May he send you help from the holy place+

And sustain you from Zion.+

3 May he remember all your gift offerings;

May he accept with favor* your burnt offering. (Selah)

4 May he grant you the desires of your heart+

And give success to all your plans.*

5 We will shout joyfully over your acts of salvation;+

We will lift our banners in the name of our God.+

May Jehovah fulfill all your requests.

6 Now I do know that Jehovah saves his anointed one.+

He answers him from his holy heavens

With great salvation* by his right hand.+

7 Some rely on chariots and others on horses,+

But we call on the name of Jehovah our God.+

8 They have collapsed and fallen,

But we have risen up and been restored.+

9 O Jehovah, save the king!+

He will answer us in the day we call for help.+
