1 For the director of music. A psalm of David. May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. |
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion. |
3 May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. Selah |
4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. |
5 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. |
6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand. |
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. |
8 They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. |
9 O LORD, save the king! Answer us when we call! |
