Psalms 20:8
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.
They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
9 O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.
