Psalm 20:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 May he give you your heart’s desire[a]
and grant you success in all your plans.
6 May we shout with joy over your victory
and lift up our banners in the name of our God.[b]
May the Lord grant your every request.
7 Now I know that the Lord will grant victory to his anointed;[c]
he will answer him from his holy heaven,
granting mighty victories with his right hand.
