1

The LORD in your distress attend;
Let Jacob's God exalt you still;
Help from the holy temple send
And strengthen you from Zion's hill.

2

May He your sacrifice regard,
And all your off'rings bear in mind;
May He your heart's desire reward,
Fulfilling all you have designed.

3

In Your salvation we'll rejoice,
In our God's name our banners raise.
O may Jehovah hear your voice,
Grant all you ask through all your days.

4

I know now that the LORD defends
And saves His own anointed king.
From holy heav'n He answer sends;
His right hand saving power will bring.

5

In chariots some boast confidence,
And on their horses some rely;
But we boast only one defense,
The name of God, the LORD Most High.

6

While we are raised and upright stand,
Our foes are made to bow and fall.
O save the king, LORD, by Your hand,
And answer us the day we call.
