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