Psalm 20. Exaudiat te Dominus.

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.
