1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend thee! 2 May he send thee help from his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion! 3 May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! [[Pause.]] 4 May he grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfill all thy purposes! 5 We will rejoice in thy protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled all thy petitions. 6 Now I know that Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him with the saving strength of his right hand. 7 Some glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God. 8 They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect. 9 The LORD save the king! May he hear us when we call!
