We will rejoice in thy saving health, and in the name of our God we will be standard-bearers: let the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

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.

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!

The LORD saves the king; let him hear us on the day when we call.
