1 

The Lord answer you in the day of trouble! 

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.

4 

May he grant you your heart’s desire, 

and fulfill all your plans.

5 

May we shout for joy over your victory, 

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 will help his anointed; 

he will answer him from his holy heaven 

with mighty victories by his right hand.

7

Some take pride in chariots, and some in horses, 

but our pride is in the name of the Lord our God.

8

They will collapse and fall, 

but we shall rise and stand upright.

9

Give victory to the king, O Lord; 

answer us when we call.
