1MAY THE Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high [and defend you];
2Send you help from the sanctuary and support, refresh, {and} strengthen you from Zion;
3Remember all your offerings and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah [pause, and think of that]!
4May He grant you according to your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans.
5We will [shout in] triumph at your salvation {and} victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.
6Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand.
7Some trust in {and} boast of chariots and some of horses, but we will trust in {and} boast of the name of the Lord our God.
8They are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen and stand upright.
9O Lord, give victory; let the King answer us when we call.
