¹For the leader. A psalm of David:

²May Adonai answer you in times of distress,

may the name of the God of Ya‘akov protect you.

³May he send you help from the sanctuary

and give you support from Tziyon.

⁴May he be reminded by all your grain offerings

and accept the fat of your burnt offerings. (Selah)

⁵May he grant you your heart’s desire

and bring all your plans to success.

⁶Then we will shout for joy at your victory

and fly our flags in the name of our God.

May Adonai fulfill all your requests.

⁷Now I know that Adonai

gives victory to his anointed one —

he will answer him from his holy heaven

with mighty victories by his right hand.

⁸Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

but we praise the name of Adonai our God.

⁹They will crumple and fall,

but we will arise and stand erect.

¹⁰Give victory, Adonai !

Let the King answer us the day we call.
