Psalm 20

Abraham Coles

3 Have to thy offerings due regard;
Of thy pure zeal be mindful still;
4 Thy pious faithfulness reward,
And all thy purposes fulfil!

5 We'll praise thee, victor in the fight,
And God too, who for thee contests;
And on our loyal banners write:
"The Lord fulfil all thy requests."

6 The Lord doth His Anointed save,
I know, with a salvation grand;
Ev'n while He asked, God answer gave —
The saving strength of His right hand.

7 While some in mounted horses trust,
And some in chariots of war,
In God, and in a cause that's just,
Our confidence is greater far.

8 And justly so; for while they lie
Overthrown and prostrate and deject,
Or panic-stricken wildly fly,
We risen are and stand erect.

9 Jehovah, save! God save the King!
Let the King hear us when we call!
Hosanna! God's high praise we sing,
By whom the nations rise or fall.
