Psalm 20

Faithful soul, thy Lord be near
Throughout thine evil day!
Thee the God oi Jacob cheer,
The name of Jesus stay!
Arm thee with preserving grace.
Be thy safeguard and defence.
Hear thee from His holy place.
And send deliverance thence!

God be mindful of thy prayers.
Accept thy sacrifice,
Treasure up thy gracious tears.
And answer all thy sighs!
Grant thee all thy heart's desire.
All thy good designs approve.
Higher raise thy joys, and higher.
And perfect thee in love!

We will glory in Thy name,
O God, Thy concjuest sing;
Thee triumphantly proclaim,
Our Saviour and our King.
Now I know the Lord from high
Succours His anointed one;
Still His arm shall strength supply,
And send salvation down.

Some in chariots put their trust,
In horses some confide:
We of God will make our boast,
And in His word abide:
Him we ever bear in mind,
All His faithful mercies claim,
Life, and strength, and succour find
In Jesu's conquering name.

All our foes by Thy right hand
Are suddenly brought down;
We are lifted up, and stand,
And stand by faith alone:
Still on Thee we cast our care,
On Thine only love depend;
King of saints, regard our prayer,
And save us to the end.
