Psalms
The book of Psalms invites you to come with Him just as you are—bringing your joy, sorrow, fear, gratitude, and hope into honest conversation with God. These sacred songs and prayers teach us that every emotion can become worship, and every season can draw us closer to the heart of a faithful Shepherd who listens, comforts, and leads.
Psalms 20
The Day of Trouble
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.
3 May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. Selah
4 May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
5 May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.
6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
8 They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
9 O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.
