May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help from the sanctuary and hold you up out of Zion. May he remember all your offerings and accept your burnt offering. Selah. May he give you what your heart wants and fulfil all your plans. We'll shout for joy about your salvation and lift the banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests. Now I know the LORD saves his anointed. He'll answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we'll remember the name of the LORD our God. They've been brought down and fallen, but we've risen and stand upright. Save, LORD; let the king hear us when we call.
