¹For the end, a Psalm of David.

¹The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

²O Lord, the king shall rejoice in thy strength; and in thy salvation he shall greatly exult.

²Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

³Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not withheld from him the request of his lips. Pause.

³Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

⁴For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou hast set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

⁴Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

⁵He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever and ever.

⁵We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

⁶His glory is great in thy salvation: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty.

⁶Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

⁷For thou wilt give him a blessing for ever and ever: thou wilt gladden him with joy with thy countenance.

⁷Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

⁸For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

⁸They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

⁹Let thy hand be found by all thine enemies: let thy right hand find all that hate thee.

⁹Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
