A Psalm of David.

^1bThe Lord will answer you on the day of straitness;

The name of the God of Jacob will set you on high.

²He will send you help from the sanctuary,

And he will support you from Zion.

³He will remember all your meal-offerings

And regard your burnt offering as fat.

Selah.

⁴He will give to you according to your heart's desire

And fulfil all your ambitions.

⁵Let us shout for joy in your salvation

And set up a banner in the name of our God.

The Lord will fulfil all your requests.

⁶Now I know that the Lord saves his messiah;

He will answer him from his holy heavens,

By the mighty acts of salvation of his right hand.

⁷Some bring chariots to remembrance,

And others horses,

But we the name of the Lord our God.

⁸They collapse and fall down,

But we arise

And are kept firmly upright.

⁹O Lord, save;

The king will answer us

On the day when we call.
