For the choir director: A psalm of David.
1 In times of trouble, may theLordanswer 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 theLordanswer all your prayers.
6 Now I know that theLordrescues 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 theLordour God.
8 Those nations will fall down and collapse,
but we will rise up and stand firm.
9 Give victory to our king, OLord!
Answer our cry for help.
