2 send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

Send forth thy help from the sanctuary, and support thee out of Zion;

3 remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. (Selah)

Receive the memorial of all thy meal-offerings, and accept the fat of thy burnt-sacrifice; (Selah)

4 May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Yahweh grant all your requests.

We will shout for joy in thy victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our standards; the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

6 Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

Now know I that the LORD saveth His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the mighty acts of His saving right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of Yahweh our God.

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen, and stand upright.

9 Save, Yahweh! Let the King answer us when we call!

Save, LORD; let the King answer us in the day that we call.
