   May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

   May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

6. 6

   We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

7. 7

   The Lord fulfil all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed.

8. 8

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

9. 9

   They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.
