Psalm 20

1 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble, *
the Name of the God of Jacob defend you;

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.
