The day of calamity

1
May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,
2
send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,
3
remember all your offerings, and accept your burned 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 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 are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.
9
Save, LORD! Let the King answer us when we call!
