1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. The LORD answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May Jehovah answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

2 Send forth thy help from the sanctuary, and support thee out of Zion;

He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

3 Receive the memorial of all thy meal-offerings, and accept the fat of thy burnt-sacrifice; (Selah)

He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

5 We will shout for joy in thy victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our standards; the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

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

6 Now know I that the LORD saveth His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the mighty acts of His saving right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will make mention of the name of the LORD our God.

Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of Jehovah our God.

8 They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen, and stand upright.

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

9 Save, LORD; let the King answer us in the day that we call.

Save, Jehovah. Let the King answer us when we call.
