1 VIR die musiekleier. 'n Psalm van Dawid.

2 Mag die Here u verhoor in die dag van benoudheid! Mag die Naam van die God van Jakob u beskerm!

3 Mag Hy u hulp stuur uit die heiligdom en u ondersteun uit Sion!

4 Mag Hy dink aan al u spysoffers en u brandoffer met welgevalle aansien! Sela.

5 Mag Hy u gee na u hart en al u voornemens vervul!

6 Ons wil juig oor u oorwinning en die vaandels opsteek in die Naam van onse God. Mag die Here al u begeertes vervul!

7 Nou weet ek dat die Here sy gesalfde verlos; Hy sal hom verhoor uit sy heilige hemel met magtige dade van verlossing van sy regterhand.

8 Sommige roem op strydwaens en ander op perde, maar óns sal roem op die Naam van die Here onse God.

9 Húlle het inmekaargesak en geval, maar óns het opgestaan en ons weer opgerig.

10 Here, verlos die koning! Mag Hy ons verhoor op die dag as ons roep!
