1  ^oMay the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!

May the ^pname 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 ^qgrant 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 ^ranointed;

he will answer him from his holy heaven

with the saving might of his right hand.

7  ^sSome trust in chariots and some in ^thorses,

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.
