MAY the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob defend you;

2  May He send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;

3 May He remember all your offering, and accept your burnt sacrifice.                     Selah

4 May He grant you according to your heart's desire, and fulfill all your purpose.

5 We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

8 They have bowed down and fallen; but we have risen and stand upright.

9 Save, LORD! May the King answer us when we call. PSALM 20
