The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 20. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high, send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion, remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah. May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfil all your counsel. We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests. 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. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright. Save, LORD! Let the King answer us when we call!

Worship Lyrics

For the Chief Musician
A Psalm by David
May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble
May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high
Send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion
Remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice
Selah
May he grant you your hearts desire, and fulfil all your counsel
We will triumph in your salvation
In the name of our God, we will set up our banners
May the LORD grant all your requests
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
Some trust in chariots
And some in horses
But
We trust in the name of the LORD our God
They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright
Save, LORD
Let the King answer us when we call
