Psalm 20

The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

In your darkest hours, may you feel the comforting presence of the Lord listening to your pleas. May the powerful name of Jacob's God shield and protect you.

Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

May divine assistance flow from the sacred place, and may you draw strength from Zion's heart.

Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

May God remember all your gifts and accept your burnt offerings with joy.

Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

May your deepest desires be fulfilled and all your plans succeed.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

We'll celebrate the rescue you provide, proudly waving flags in God's name. May the Lord answer all your prayers.

Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

I now know that God rescues his anointed king; he answers him from his sacred heavens, saving him with the mighty power of his right hand.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

While others find comfort in their wealth or power, we find our strength in the loving embrace of our God.

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

They've stumbled and collapsed, but we've risen, standing strong and tall.

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

Lord, rescue us! May our cries reach the ears of our king.
