1Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

2Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion;

3Remember all thy offerings, And accept thy burnt-sacrifice; [Selah

4Grant thee thy heart’s desire, And fulfil all thy counsel.

5We will triumph in thy salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.

6Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; He will answer him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand.

7Some trustin chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

8They are bowed down and fallen; But we are risen, and stand upright.

9Save, Jehovah: Let the King answer us when we call.
