To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

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

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

Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; (Selah)

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

Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

5 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 I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by his right hand.

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

Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

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

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

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

Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.
