[1] In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm.
[2] May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem.
[3] May he remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. Interlude
[4] May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed.
[5] May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your prayers.
[6] Now I know that the Lord rescues his anointed king. He will answer him from his holy heaven and rescue him by his great power.
[7] Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.
[8] Those nations will fall down and collapse, but we will rise up and stand firm.
[9] Give victory to our king, O Lord! Answer our cry for help.
