1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

2 send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

3 remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah.

4 May He grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the Lord grant all your requests.

6 Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of the Lord our God.

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

9 Save, Lord! Let the King answer us when we call!
