| 1 | To the overseer; chanting of David. Jehovah will answer thee in the day of straits; the name of the God of Jacob shall exalt thee. | May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob protect you! | For the director of music. A psalm of David. May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. | |
| 2 | He will send thy help from the holy place and from Zion he will support thee. | May he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion! | May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion. | |
| 3 | He will remember all thy gifts, and he will make fat thy burnt-offerings. Silence. | May he remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah | May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. | |
| 4 | He will give to thee according to thy heart, and fill up all thy counsel. | May he grant you your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans! | May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. | |
| 5 | We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will cover over: Jehovah will fill up all our petitions. | May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions! | May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests. | |
| 6 | Now I knew that Jehovah saved his Messiah; he will answer him from his holy heavens by the strength of the salvation of his right hand. | Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand. | Now this I know: The LORD gives victory to his anointed. He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand. | |
| 7 | These in chariots, and these in horses: and in the name of Jehovah our God will we remember. | Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. | Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. | |
| 8 | They bowed down and they fell: and we arose, and we shall stand erect. | They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright. | They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. | |
| 9 | O Jehovah, save: the king he will answer us in the day of our calling. | O LORD, save the king! May he answer us when we call. | LORD, give victory to the king! Answer us when we call! | |
