1 May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble.

2 May he send you helpc from the sanctuary,

and from Zion may he sustain you.

3 May he remember all your offerings,

and your burnt offering may he ⌊regard favorably⌋.d Selah

4 May he give to you ⌊your heart’s desire⌋,e

and your every plan may he fulfill.

5 May we shout for joy over your victory,

and in the name of our God may we set up banners.

May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.

6 Now I know that Yahweh will help his anointed.f

He will answer him from his holy heaven

with the victorious power of his right hand.

7 ⌊Some boast in chariots and others in horses⌋,g

but we boast in the name of Yahweh, our God.

8 They will collapse and fall,

and we will rise and stand firm.

9 Rescue,h O Yahweh.

Let the king answer us when we call.
