PSALM 20

Psalm 20

Amplified Bible (AMP)

Prayer for Victory over Enemies. To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. 20 [a]May the Lord answer you (David) in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high [and defend you in battle]!

2 May He send you help from the sanctuary (His dwelling place) And support and strengthen you from Zion! 3 May He remember all your meal offerings

And accept your burnt offering. Selah. 4 May He grant you your heart’s desire

And fulfill all your plans. 5 We will sing joyously over your victory, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners.

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. 6 Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed

He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, But we will remember and trust in the name of the Lord our God

. 8 They have bowed down and fallen,

. 9 O Lord, save [the [b]king]; May the [c]King answer us in the day we call.
