2 M ay He send you help from the house of God, and give you strength from Zion.

Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion;

3 M ay He remember all your gifts of grain given on the altar in worship. And may He be pleased with your burnt gifts.

Remember all thy offerings, And accept thy burnt-sacrifice; Selah

4 M ay He give you the desire of your heart, and make all your plans go well.

Grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfil all thy counsel.

5 W e will sing for joy when you win. In the name of our God we will lift up our flags. May the Lord give you all the things you ask Him for.

We will triumph in thy salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.

6 N ow I know that the Lord saves His chosen one. He will answer him from His holy heaven, with the saving power of His right hand.

Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; He will answer him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand.

7 S ome trust in wagons and some in horses. But we will trust in the name of the Lord, our God.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

8 T hey have fallen on their knees. But we rise up and stand straight.

They are bowed down and fallen; But we are risen, and stand upright.

9 O Lord, save! May the King answer us when we call.

Save, Jehovah: Let the King answer us when we call.
