For the director of music. A salm of David
1
May the LORD answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2
May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.
3
May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. Selah
4
May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
5
We will shout for joy when you are victorios and will lift up our banners
in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests.
6
Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;
he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand.
7
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
8
They are brough to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
9
O LORD, save the king! Answer us when we call!
