The Assurance of God’s Saving Work

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
  1May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble;
   May the name of the God of Jacob defend you;
   2May He send you help from the sanctuary,
   And strengthen you out of Zion;
   3May He remember all your offerings,
   And accept your burnt sacrifice.
Selah
  4May He grant you according to your heart’s desire,
   And fulfill all your purpose.
   5We will rejoice in your salvation,
   And in the name of our God we will set up our banners!
   May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.
  6Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;
   He will answer him from His holy heaven
   With the saving strength of His right hand.
  7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;
   But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
   8They have bowed down and fallen;
   But we have risen and stand upright.
  9Save, Lord!
   May the King answer us when we call.

大衛的詩。交給聖詠團長。

祈求勝利

  1願耶和華在你患難的日子應允你,
   願雅各的上帝的名保護你。
  2願他從聖所救助你,
   從錫安堅固你,
  3記念你的一切祭物,
   悅納你的燔祭,(細拉)
  4將你心所願的賜給你,
   成就你的一切籌算。
  5我們要因你的救恩誇勝,
   要奉我們上帝的名豎立旌旗。
  願耶和華成就你一切所求的!

  6現在我知道耶和華必救護他的受膏者,
   從他神聖的天上應允他,
   用右手的能力救護他。
  7有人靠車,有人靠馬,
   但我們要提耶和華-我們上帝的名。
  8他們都屈身仆倒,
   我們卻起來,堅立不移。

  9耶和華啊,求你拯救;
   我們呼求的時候,願王應允我們!
