[fn]May the LORD answer you (David) in the day of trouble!

And support and strengthen you from Zion!

And accept your burnt offering. Selah.

And fulfill all your plans.

And in the name of our God we will set up our banners.

May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed;

He will answer him from His holy heaven

With the saving strength of His right hand.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

But we will remember and trust in the name of the LORD our God.

But we have risen and stood upright.

O LORD, save [the [fn]king];

May the [fn]King answer us in the day we call.
