1  May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob; 2  May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion; 3  May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah.) 4  May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect. 5  We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests. 6  Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand. 7  Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God. 8  They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up. 9  Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.
