1May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,
1Unto the end. A psalm for David.
2send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,
2In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.
3remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. Selah.
3Thou hast given him his heart’s desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.
4May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.
4For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
5We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.
5He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
6Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.
6His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.
7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
7For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.
8They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.
8For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
9Save, LORD! Let the King answer us when we call!
9Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.
