A Prayer for Victory

For the director of music. A Psalm of David.

1MAY the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!
May the name of the God of Jacob defend you!

2 May He send you help from the sanctuary,
and grant you support from Zion. 3 May He remember all your offerings,
and accept your burnt offerings.  Selah 4 May He grant you all your heart desires,
and fulfil all your plans. 5 We will shout for joy over your victory,
and in the name of our God we will set up our banners.   May the Lord grant all your requests.   6 Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven, with the saving strength of His right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. 8 They have collapsed and fallen down,
but we have risen up and stand upright. 9 Save, O Lord, give the king victory.
Answer us when we call.
