To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.
May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob; --
|
2 |
May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion; --
|
3 |
May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah.) --
|
4 |
May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect. --
|
5 |
We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests. --
|
6 |
Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand. --
|
7 |
Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God. --
|
8 |
They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up. --
|
9 |
Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry. --
