Psalm 20; Psalm 21; Psalm 60; Psalm 68; Psalm 110

1May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

2May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

3May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. Selah

4May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

5May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

6Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

7Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

8They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

9O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.

1O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!

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

3For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.

4He asked You for life, and You granted it— length of days, forever and ever.

5Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.

6For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.

7For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.

8Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.

9You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them.

10You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.

11Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.

12For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.

13Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.

1You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!

2You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.

3You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.

4You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow. Selah

5Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.

6God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

7Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

8Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

9Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

10Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

11Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.

12With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.

1God arises. His enemies are scattered, and those who hate Him flee His presence.

2As smoke is blown away, You will drive them out; as wax melts before the fire, the wicked will perish in the presence of God.

3But the righteous will be glad and rejoice before God; they will celebrate with joy.

4Sing to God! Sing praises to His name. Exalt Him who rides on the clouds — His name is the LORD— and rejoice before Him.

5A father of the fatherless and a defender of widows is God in His holy habitation.

6God settles the lonely in families; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

7O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the wasteland, Selah

8the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain before God, the One on Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

9You sent abundant rain, O God; You refreshed Your weary inheritance.

10Your flock settled therein; O God, from Your bounty You provided for the poor.

11The Lord gives the command; a great company of women proclaim it:

12“Kings and their armies flee in haste; she who waits at home divides the plunder.

13Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her feathers with shimmering gold.”

14When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land, it was like the snow falling on Zalmon.

15A mountain of God is Mount Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan.

16Why do you gaze in envy, O mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain God chose for His dwelling, where the LORD will surely dwell forever.

17The chariots of God are tens of thousands— thousands of thousands are they; the Lord is in His sanctuary as He was at Sinai.

18You have ascended on high; You have led captives away. You have received gifts from men, even from the rebellious, that the LORD God may dwell there.

19Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God of our salvation. Selah

20Our God is a God of deliverance; the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death.

21Surely God will crush the heads of His enemies, the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways.

22The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,

23that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your foes— the tongues of your dogs in the same.”

24They have seen Your procession, O God— the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.

25The singers lead the way, the musicians follow after, among the maidens playing tambourines.

26Bless God in the great congregation; bless the LORD from the fountain of Israel.

27There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah in their company, the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.

28Summon Your power, O God; show Your strength, O God, which You have exerted on our behalf.

29Because of Your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring You gifts.

30Rebuke the beast in the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations, until it submits, bringing bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.

31Envoys will arrive from Egypt; Cush will stretch out her hands to God.

32Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord— Selah

33to Him who rides upon the highest heavens of old; behold, His mighty voice resounds.

34Ascribe the power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose strength is in the skies.

35O God, You are awesome in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!

1The LORD said to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”

2The LORD extends Your mighty scepter from Zion: “Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

3Your people shall be willing on Your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, to You belongs the dew of Your youth.

4The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

5The Lord is at Your right hand; He will crush kings in the day of His wrath.

6He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead; He will crush the leaders far and wide.

7He will drink from the brook by the road; therefore He will lift up His head.
