1May the LORD answer you in the day of distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. | 1For the music director; a psalm of David. May the LORD answer you when you are in trouble; may the God of Jacob make you secure! |
2May he send you help from the sanctuary, and may he sustain you from Zion. | 2May he send you help from his temple; from Zion may he give you support! |
3May he remember all your gifts, and may he accept your burnt offerings. Interlude | 3May he take notice of your offerings; may he accept your burnt sacrifice! (Selah) |
4May he give you what your heart desires, and may he fulfill all your plans. | 4May he grant your heart's desire; may he bring all your plans to pass! |
5May we shout for joy at your deliverance and unfurl our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD fulfill all your petitions. | 5Then we will shout for joy over your victory; we will rejoice in the name of our God! May the LORD grant all your requests! |
6Now I know that the LORD has delivered his anointed; he has answered him from his sanctuary with the strength of his right hand of deliverance. | 6Now I am sure that the LORD will deliver his chosen king; he will intervene for him from his holy heavenly temple, and display his mighty ability to deliver. |
7Some boast in chariots, others in horses; but we will boast in the name of the LORD our God. | 7Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we depend on the LORD our God. |
8While they bowed down and fell, we arose and stood upright. | 8They will fall down, but we will stand firm. |
9Deliver us, LORD! Answer us, our King, on the day we cry out! | 9The LORD will deliver the king; he will answer us when we call to him for help! |
