Psalms

Chapter 19

  1. 1

    (To the choir-master. A psalm. Of David.)

  2. 2

    The Lord listen to thee in thy time of need, the power of Jacob’s God be thy protection!

  3. 3

    May he send thee aid from his holy place, watch over thee, there on mount Sion;

  4. 4

    may he remember all thy offerings, and find savour in thy burnt-sacrifice.

  5. 5

    May he grant thee what thy heart desires, crown thy hopes with fulfilment.

  6. 6

    So may we rejoice at thy deliverance, rallied in the name of the Lord our God;

  7. 7

    abundantly may he grant thy prayer. Shall I doubt that the Lord protects the king he has anointed, will listen to him from his sanctuary in heaven? Is not his right hand strong to save?

  8. 8

    Let others talk of horses and chariots; our refuge is the name of the Lord our God.

  9. 9

    Stumbled and fallen they, while we stand firm on our feet.

  10. 10

    O Lord, save the king,1 and hear us in the hour when we call upon thee.
