For the director of music. A psalm of David.
20 1 May our Father answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the Father of Jacob protect you. 2 May he send you help from the sanctuary, and may he sustain you from Zion. 3 May he remember all your offerings and look with favor on your burnt sacrifice. Selah. 4 May he give you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans.
5 We will shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our Father we will lift up our banners. May our Father fulfill all your petitions. 6 Now I know that our Father saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of our Father. 8 They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand firm. 9 Our Father, save the king! Answer us when we call.
