Psalm 20
Exaudiat te Dominus
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 9 verses
- 1
May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble, *
the Name of the God of Jacob defend you; - 2
Send you help from his holy place *
and strengthen you out of Zion; - 3
Remember all your offerings *
and accept your burnt sacrifice; - 4
Grant you your heart's desire *
and prosper all your plans. - 5
We will shout for joy at your victory and triumph in the Name of our God; *
may the LORD grant all your requests. - 6
Now I know that the LORD gives victory to his anointed; *
he will answer him out of his holy heaven, with the victorious strength of his right hand. - 7
Some put their trust in chariots and some in horses, *
but we will call upon the Name of the LORD our God. - 8
They collapse and fall down, *
but we will arise and stand upright. - 9
O LORD, give victory to the king *
and answer us when we call.
