20

May the Lord answer you when you are in distress
May the name of the God of Jacob protect you
May He send you help from the sanctuary
And grant you support from Zion when it’s due

May He remember all your sacrifices
And accept your burnt offerings even in the time of need
May He give you the desire of your heart
And make all your plans succeed

May we shout for joy over your victory
And lift up our banners in the name of our God
May the Lord grant all your requests
And You’ll shout loud - praised be the Lord!

Now this I know:
The Lord gives victory to his anointed
He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary
With the victorious power of his right hand

Some trust in chariots and some in horses
But we trust in the name of the Lord our God
They are brought to their knees and fall
But we rise up and stand firm with faith to God’s word

Lord, give victory to the king!
Answer us when we call!
Lord, give victory to the king!
Rise us up when we fall!
