Psalms

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

1May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble.May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

2send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

3remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah.

4May he grant you your heart’s desire,and fulfil all your counsel.

5We will triumph in your salvation.In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.

6Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed.He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

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

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

9Save, LORD!Let the King answer us when we call!

4May He give you the desires of your heartand make all your plans succeed.

5May we shout for joy at your victoryand raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

6Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed;He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

7Some trust in chariots and others in horses,but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

8They collapse and fall,but we rise up and stand firm.

9O LORD, savethe king.Answer us on the day we call.
