Psalm 20

¹The Lord answer you in the day of trouble! The name of the God of Jacob protect you!

²May he send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

³May he remember all your offerings, and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices. Selah

⁴May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your plans.

⁵May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

⁶Now I know that the Lord will help his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with mighty victories by his right hand.

⁷Some take pride in chariots, and some in horses, but our pride is in the name of the Lord our God.

⁸They will collapse and fall, but we shall rise and stand upright.

⁹Give victory to the king, O Lord; answer us when we call.

Psalm 21

¹In your strength the king rejoices, O Lord, and in your help how greatly he exults!

²You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

³For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold on his head.

⁴He asked you for life; you gave it to him— length of days forever and ever.

⁵His glory is great through your help; splendor and majesty you bestow on him.

⁶You bestow on him blessings forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

⁷For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.

⁸Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you.

⁹You will make them like a fiery furnace when you appear. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath, and fire will consume them.

¹⁰You will destroy their offspring from the earth, and their children from among humankind.

¹¹If they plan evil against you, if they devise mischief, they will not succeed.

¹²For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows.

¹³Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power.

Psalm 110

¹The Lord says to my lord, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.”

²The Lord sends out from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your foes.

³Your people will offer themselves willingly on the day you lead your forces on the holy mountains. From the womb of the morning, like dew, your youth will come to you.

⁴The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”

⁵The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

⁶He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter heads over the wide earth.

⁷He will drink from the stream by the path; therefore he will lift up his head.

Psalm 116

¹I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.

²Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

³The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.

⁴Then I called on the name of the Lord: “O Lord, I pray, save my life!”

⁵Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; our God is merciful.

⁶The Lord protects the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.

⁷Return, O my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

⁸For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

⁹I walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

¹⁰I kept my faith, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted”;

¹¹I said in my consternation, “Everyone is a liar.”

¹²What shall I return to the Lord for all his bounty to me?

¹³I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord,

¹⁴I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.

¹⁵Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful ones.

¹⁶O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, the child of your serving girl. You have loosed my bonds.

¹⁷I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice and call on the name of the Lord.

¹⁸I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people,

¹⁹in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!

Psalm 117

¹Praise the Lord, all you nations! Extol him, all you peoples!

²For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!
