God’s Blessing on the King

For the music director. A psalm of David.

1 May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble.

May the name of Jacob’s God protectyou.

2 May he send you helpfrom the sanctuary,

and from Zion may he sustain you.

3 May he remember all your offerings,

and your burnt offering may he regard favorably.

4 May he give to you your heart’s desire,

and your every plan may he fulfill.Selah

5 May we shout for joy over your victory,

and in the name of our God may we set up banners.

May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.

6 Now I know that Yahweh will help his anointed.

He will answer him from his holy heaven

with the victorious power of his right hand.

7 Some boast in chariots and others in horses,

but we boast in the name of Yahweh, our God.

8 They will collapse and fall,

and we will rise and stand firm.

9 Rescue,O Yahweh.

Let the king answer us when we call.
