| 1 | 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. |
