1For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. May Yahweh answer you in a day of trouble; may the name of Jacob's God protect you.

1In times of trouble, may the LORD answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm.

2May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

2May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem.

3May He remember all your offerings and accept your burnt offering. Selah

3May he remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. Interlude

4May He give you what your heart desires and fulfill your whole purpose.

4May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed.

5Let us shout for joy at your victory and lift the banner in the name of our God. May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.

5May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the LORD answer all your prayers.

6Now I know that the LORD gives victory to His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with mighty victories from His right hand.

6Now I know that the LORD rescues his anointed king. He will answer him from his holy heaven and rescue him by his great power.

7Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses, but we take pride in the name of Yahweh our God.

7Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the LORD our God.

8They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand firm.

8Those nations will fall down and collapse, but we will rise up and stand firm.

9 LORD, give victory to the king! May He answer us on the day that we call.

9Give victory to our king, O LORD! Answer our cry for help.
