1 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!

    May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!

2 May he send you help from the sanctuary

    and give you support from Zion!

3 May he remember all your offerings

    and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah

4 May he grant you your heart's desire

    and fulfill all your plans!

5 May we shout for joy over your salvation,

    and in the name of our God set up our banners!

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!

6 Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;

    he will answer him from his holy heaven

    with the saving might of his right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

    but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

8 They collapse and fall,

    but we rise and stand upright.

9 O Lord, save the king!

    May he answer us when we call.
