Tap a verse to highlight it

1 יהוה hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the Elohim of Jacob defend thee;

2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our Elohim we will set up our banners: יהוה fulfil all thy petitions.

6 Now know I that יהוה saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of יהוה our Elohim.

8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

9 Save, יהוה: let the king hear us when we call.
