For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble;

The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

2 Send thee help from the sanctuary,

And strengthen thee out of Zion;

3 Remember all thy offerings,

And accept thy burnt-sacrifice; [Selah

4 Grant thee thy heart’s desire,

And fulfil all thy counsel.

5 We will triumph in thy salvation,

And in the name of our God we will set up our banners:

Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.

6 Now know I that Jehovah saveth 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 make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

8 They are bowed down and fallen;

But we are risen, and stand upright.

9 Save, Jehovah:

Let the King answer us when we call.
