Behold the power of God in the Psalms!

The future proves the past.

Psalm 20:

Prayer for Victory

A Psalm of David.

20 The Lord answer you in the day of trouble!

The name of the God of Jacob protect you!

2 May he send you help from the sanctuary,

and give you support from Zion!

3 May he remember all your offerings,

and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah

4 May he grant you your heart’s desire,

and fulfil all your plans!

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!

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.

7 Some boast of chariots, and some of horses;

but we boast of the name of the Lord our God.

8 They will collapse and fall;

but we shall rise and stand upright.

9 Give victory to the king, O Lord;

answer us when we call.
