1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

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 Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;

May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

3 Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending-sacrifice, esteem. (Selah)

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

4 Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

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

5 We will shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh fulfil all thy petitions.

We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

6 Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

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

8 They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.

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

9 Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.

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