Psalm 20

We Will Boast in the Name of Yahweh

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1 May Yahweh answer you in the day of distress!
May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high!
2 May He send you help from the sanctuary
And uphold you from Zion!
3 May He remember all your meal offerings
And find your burnt offering ^{▼▼Lit fat}acceptable! ^{▼▼Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude}Selah.
4 May He grant you your heart’s desire
And fulfill all your ^{▼▼Or purpose}counsel!
5 ^{▼▼ Or Let us sing}We will sing for joy over your salvation,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners.
May Yahweh fulfill all your petitions.
6 Now I know that Yahweh saves His anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the ^{▼▼Or mighty deeds of the victory of His right hand}saving might of His right hand.
7 Some boast in chariots and some in horses,
But we will ^{▼▼Or make mention of, praise}boast in the name of Yahweh, our God.
8 They have bowed down and fallen,
But we have risen and stood upright.
9 ^{▼▼ Or Yahweh, save the king; answer us}Save, O Yahweh;
May the King answer us in the day we call.
