May the answer you in the day of trouble, * the Name of the God of Jacob defend you;

Send you help from his holy place * and strengthen you out of Zion;

Remember all your offerings * and accept your burnt sacrifice;

Grant you your heart’s desire * and prosper all your plans.

We will shout for joy at your victory and triumph in the Name of our God; * may the grant all your requests.

Now I know that the gives victory to his anointed; * he will answer him out of his holy heaven, with the victorious strength of his right hand.

Some put their trust in chariots and some in horses, * but we will call upon the Name of the our God.

They collapse and fall down, * but we will arise and stand upright.

[sic]O, give victory to the king * and answer us when we call.

The king rejoices in your strength, O ; * how greatly he exults in your victory!

You have given him his heart’s desire; * you have not denied him the request of his lips.
