시편 20
전쟁 전 왕을 위한 중보 기도이다. 하나님이 환난 날에 응답하시고, 왕의 소원을 들어주시며, 모든 제물을 기억해 달라고 간구한다. 백성들이 전차나 말이 아닌 하나님 이름으로 의지하며 신뢰를 선언한다.
1The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
5We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
6Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
