Psalm 20

Fulda (Germany)

The Lord respond when you’re dismayed;
The God of Jacob’s name protect.
Out of the sanct’ry send you aid,
To you from Zion strength direct.

May all your offerings be recalled,
Each sacrifice be well received.
The longings of your heart fulfilled,
May every plan of yours succeed.

When you’re victorious, we will shout
With sounding joy and in God’s name
We’ll hang our battle banners out.
The Lord grant all from him you claim.

Now I can say, the Lord I know
Will surely save his Christ as planned;
From holy heav’n him answers show
With saving power in his right hand.

Some faith to chariot wheels accord,
Some put their faith in charging horse,
But we are trusting in the Lord
Yes, in our God we put our trust.

Brought to their knees how low they bow,
But we rise up and we stand tall.
O Lord, come save the king, save now!
O give your answer when we call!
