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;

For the chief musician. A psalm of David. May Yahweh help you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you

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

and send help from the holy place to support you from Zion.

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

May he call to mind all your offerings and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans.

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

Then we will rejoice in your victory, and, in the name of our God, we will raise banners. May Yahweh grant all your 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 I know that Yahweh will rescue his anointed one; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the strength of his right hand that can rescue him.

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

Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we call on Yahweh our God.

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

They will be brought down and fall, but we will rise and stand upright!

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

Yahweh, rescue the king; help us when we call.
