To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

8,6,8,6

^1Jehovah hear thee in the day

when trouble he doth send:

And let the name of Jacob's God

thee from all ill defend.

^2O let him help send from above,

out of his sanctuary:

From Sion, his own holy hill,

let him give strength to thee.

^3Let him remember all thy gifts,

accept thy sacrifice:

^4Grant thee thine heart's wish, and fulfil

thy thoughts and counsel wise.

^5In thy salvation we will joy;

in our God's name we will

Display our banners: and the Lord

thy prayers all fulfil.

^6Now know I God his king doth save:

he from his holy heav'n

Will hear him, with the saving strength

by his own right hand giv'n.

^7In chariots some put confidence,

some horses trust upon:

But we remember will the name

of our Lord God alone.

^8We rise, and upright stand, when they

are bowed down, and fall.

^9Deliver, Lord; and let the King

us hear, when we do call.
