2 The LORD answer you in time of distress; the name of the God of Jacob defend you!

3 May he send you help from the sanctuary, from Zion be your support.

4 May he remember your every offering, graciously accept your burnt offering,

5 Grant what is in your heart, fulfill your every plan.

6 May we shout for joy at your victory, raise the banners in the name of our God. The LORD grant your every petition!

7 Now I know the LORD gives victory to his anointed. He will answer him from the holy heavens with a strong arm that brings victory.
