May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are raised, and stand upright.

They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.
