1 The Lord answer you in the day of distress, the name of the God of Jacob protect you,
2 sending you help from the temple, and out of Zion supporting you.
3 All your meal-offerings may he remember, your burnt-offerings look on with favour. (Selah)
4 May he grant you your heart’s desire, and bring all your designs to fruition.
5 We will shout then for joy at your victory, and rejoice in the name of our God. May the Lord fulfil all your petitions.
6 Now I am sure that the Lord will give victory to his anointed. From his temple in heaven he will answer by his mighty triumphant right hand.
7 Some in chariots are strong, some in horses; but our strength is the Lord our God.
8 As for them, they will totter and fall, while we rise and stand firm.
9 Give victory, Lord, to the king, and answer us when we call.
