[1] May the LORD answer you (David) in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high [and defend you in battle]! [2] May He send you help from the sanctuary (His dwelling place) And support and strengthen you from Zion! [3] May He remember all your meal offerings And accept your burnt offering. Selah. [4] May He grant you your heart’s desire And fulfill all your plans. [5] We will sing joyously over your victory, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the LORD fulfill all your petitions. [6] Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand. [7] Some trust in chariots and some in horses, But we will remember and trust in the name of the LORD our God. [8] They have bowed down and fallen, But we have risen and stood upright. [9] O LORD, save [the king]; May the King answer us in the day we call.
