1
May Yahweh help you in the day of trouble;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you
2
and send help from the holy place
to support you from Zion.
3
May he call to mind all your offerings
and accept your burnt sacrifice.
Selah
4
May he grant you your heart's desire
and fulfill all your plans.
5
Then we will rejoice in your victory,
and, in the name of our God, we will raise banners.
May Yahweh grant all your petitions.
6
Now I know that Yahweh will rescue his anointed one;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with the saving strength of his right hand.
7
Some trust in chariots and others in horses,
but we trust in the name of Yahweh our God.
8
They will be brought down and fall,
but we will rise and stand upright!
9
Yahweh, rescue the king;
help us when we call.
