A Friend's Prayer

Psalm 20

May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble;

May the name of the God of Jacob defend you;

May He send you help from the sactuary

And strengthen you out of Zion;

May He remember all your offerings;

And accept your burnt sacrafice.

Selah.

May He grant you according to your heart's desire;

And fulfill all your purpose;

We will rejoice in your salvation,

And in the name of our God we will set up our banners!

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

Now I know the Lord saves His annointed;

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 will remember the name of the Lord our God.

They have bowed down and fallen;

But we have risen and stand upright.

Save, Lord! May the King answer us in the day we call!
