4 H e doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

5 W e sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

6 N ow I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

7 S ome of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

8 T hey -- they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

9 O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!

Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
