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 grant you support from Zion.
2May he send you help from his temple; from Zion may he give you support!
3May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings.
3May he take notice of your offerings; may he accept your burnt sacrifice! (Selah)
4May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
4May he grant your heart's desire; may he bring all your plans to pass!
5May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests.
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 this I know: The LORD gives victory to his anointed. He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand.
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 trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
7Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we depend on the LORD our God.
8They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
