1 In finem. Psalmus David. Exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis; protegat te nomen Dei Jacob.

For the chief musician. A psalm of David. May Yahweh help you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you

2 Mittat tibi auxilium de sancto, et de Sion tueatur te.

and send help from the holy place to support you from Zion.

3 Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui, et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat.

May he call to mind all your offerings and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

4 Tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum, et omne consilium tuum confirmet.

May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans.

5 Lætabimur in salutari tuo; et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur.

Then we will rejoice in your victory, and, in the name of our God, we will raise banners. May Yahweh grant all your petitions.

6 Impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas; nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus christum suum. Exaudiet illum de cælo sancto suo, in potentatibus salus dexteræ ejus.

Now I know that Yahweh will rescue his anointed one; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the strength of his right hand that can rescue him.

7 Hi in curribus, et hi in equis; nos autem in nomine Domini Dei nostri invocabimus.

Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we call on Yahweh our God.

8 Ipsi obligati sunt, et ceciderunt; nos autem surreximus, et erecti sumus.

They will be brought down and fall, but we will rise and stand upright!

9 Domine, salvum fac regem, et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te.

Yahweh, rescue the king; help us when we call.
