| 4May he grant your heart's desire; may he bring all your plans to pass! | 4May he give you what your heart desires, and may he fulfill all your plans. |

| 6Now I am sure that the LORD will deliver his chosen king; he will intervene for him from his holy heavenly temple, and display his mighty ability to deliver. | 6Now I know that the LORD has delivered his anointed; he has answered him from his sanctuary with the strength of his right hand of deliverance. |
| 7Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we depend on the LORD our God. | 7Some boast in chariots, others in horses; but we will boast in the name of the LORD our God. |
| 8They will fall down, but we will stand firm. | 8While they bowed down and fell, we arose and stood upright. |
