1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend you;
1For the music director; a psalm of David. May the LORD answer you when you are in trouble; may the God of Jacob make you secure!
2May He send you help from the sanctuary, And strengthen you out of Zion;
2May he send you help from his temple; from Zion may he give you support!
3May He remember all your offerings, And accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah
3May he take notice of your offerings; may he accept your burnt sacrifice! (Selah)
4May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, And fulfill all your purpose.
4May he grant your heart's desire; may he bring all your plans to pass!
5We will rejoice in your salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.
5Then we will shout for joy over your victory; we will rejoice in the name of our God! May the LORD grant all your requests!
6Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand.
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.
7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
7Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we depend on the LORD our God.
8They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright.
