1 For the leader. A psalm of David.
2 The Lord answer you in time of distress;the name of the God of Jacob defend you!
3 May he send you help from the sanctuary,from Zion be your support.
4 May he remember your every offering,graciously accept your burnt offering,Selah
5 Grant what is in your heart,fulfill your every plan.
6 May we shout for joy at your victory,raise the banners in the name of our God.The Lord grant your every petition!
7 Now I know the Lord gives victoryto his anointed.He will answer him from the holy heavenswith a strong arm that brings victory.
8 Some rely on chariots, others on horses,but we on the name of the Lord our God.
9 They collapse and fall,but we stand strong and firm.
10 Lord, grant victory to the king;answer when we call upon you.
