PSALM 19 (20)

May the Lord hear you
on the day of tribulation.
May the name of the God
of Jacob protect you.
May he send help to you
from his sanctuary,
and support you from Zion.
May he be mindful of
all your sacrifices,
and find your burnt
offerings acceptable.

May he give to you
according to your heart's desire,
and fulfill your every wish.
We shall rejoice
in your salvation
and raise banners
to the name
of our God.
May the Lord fulfill
all your requests
I already know that
the Lord will save
his anointed,
that he will hear him
from his holy heaven,
granting victories
by the strength
of his right hand.
Some in chariots
and some in horses,
but we are made strong
in the name of the Lord,
our God.
They collapsed and fell,
but we stand
and we remain.

Lord, save the king,
and hear us on the day
when we invoke you.
