[20:1] May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble! May the God of Jacob protect you!
[20:2] May he send you help from his Temple and give you aid from Mount Zion.
[20:3] May he accept all your offerings and be pleased with all your sacrifices.
[20:4] May he give you what you desire and make all your plans succeed.
[20:5] Then we will shout for joy over your victory and celebrate your triumph by praising our God. May the Lord answer all your requests.
[20:6] Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his chosen king; he answers him from his holy heaven and by his power gives him great victories.
[20:7] Some trust in their war chariots and others in their horses, but we trust in the power of the Lord our God.
[20:8] Such people will stumble and fall, but we will rise and stand firm.
[20:9] Give victory to the king, O Lord; answer us when we call.
