Psalms 20:6
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.
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.
