Scripture Lesson: Psalm 20 Pray for our President

Time to reflect: This is a “Royal Psalm” a set of psalms written to be prayed/sung annually in behalf of their ruler.

Moving Throughout the day: Pray this for your President (or head of your government, if you are not an American citizen).

 Scripture:

 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress;
       may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

  May he send you help from the sanctuary
       and grant you support from Zion.

  May he remember all your sacrifices
       and accept your burnt offerings.
       Selah

  May he give you the desire of your heart
       and make all your plans succeed.

  We will shout for joy when you are victorious
       and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.
       May the LORD grant all your requests.

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

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

  They are brought to their knees and fall,
       but we rise up and stand firm.

  O LORD, save the king!
       Answer us when we call!
