1 May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble!May the God of Jacob protect you!
2 May he send you help from his Templeand give you aid from Mount Zion.
3 May he accept all your offeringsand be pleased with all your sacrifices.
4 May he give you what you desireand make all your plans succeed.
5 Then we will shout for joy over your victoryand celebrate your triumph by praising our God.May the Lord answer all your requests.
6 Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his chosen king;he answers him from his holy heavenand by his power gives him great victories.
7 Some trust in their war chariotsand others in their horses,but we trust in the power of the Lord our God.
8 Such people will stumble and fall,but we will rise and stand firm.
9 Give victory to the king, O Lord;answer us when we call.
