Psalms 20

Prayer for Victory over Enemies.

1 * 20:1 Verses 1-5, 9 is the prayer of intercession voiced by the congregation before David goes into battle. May the Lord answer you (David) in the day of trouble!

May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high [and defend you in battle]!

2 May He send you help from the sanctuary (His dwelling place)

And support and strengthen you from Zion!

3 May He remember all your meal offerings

And accept your burnt offering. Selah.

4 May He grant you your heart’s desire

And fulfill all your plans.
