    May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble, *

    and strengthen you out of Zion;

    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 LORD grant all your requests.

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

  7. 7

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

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

    O LORD, give victory to the king *
    and answer us when we call.
