For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.

May Yahweh answer you in a day of trouble;^(a) may the name of Jacob's God protect you.^(b)

May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.^(c)

May He remember all your offerings and accept your burnt offering.^(d) Selah

May He give you what your heart desires^(e) and fulfill your whole purpose.^(f)

Let us shout for joy at your victory^(g) and lift the banner in the name of our God.^(h) May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.⁽ⁱ⁾

Now I know that the Lord gives victory to His anointed;^(j) He will answer him from His holy heaven with mighty victories from^[a] His right hand.^(k)

Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses, but we take pride in the name of Yahweh our God.^(l)

They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand firm.^(m)

Lord , give victory to the king!⁽ⁿ⁾ May He^[b] answer us on the day that we call.
