0 To the Chief Musician {lamnatseach: choir director}. A Psalm of David {ledavid: Davidic attribution}.
1 May the LORD {YHWH, Prayer Receiver} respond to you when distress comes, and may the name of the God of Jacob {Elohei Ya'aqov, Ancestral Covenant God} lift you to a secure height.
2 May He {YHWH, Deliverer} send assistance to you from the sanctuary {miqodesh: holy place}, and may He uphold you from Zion.
3 May He {YHWH, Prayer Hearer} remember all your offerings {minchah: gift sacrifices}, and may He treat your burnt offering with favor. Selah.
4 May He {YHWH, Prayer Receiver} give you what your heart desires, and bring all your counsel {etzah: considered plan} to completion.
5 We will cry out with joy because of your salvation {yeshuah: deliverance}, and in the name of our God {Eloheinu, Sovereign Protector} we will raise our banner; may the LORD {YHWH, Faithful Upholder} bring about all you ask.
6 Now I know that the LORD {YHWH, Covenant Deliverer} saves His anointed {meshikho: chosen one}; from His holy heavens He will answer him with the saving strength of His right hand.
7 Some rely on chariots, and others on horses, but we will keep in mind the name of the LORD {YHWH, Victorious Deliverer} our God {Eloheinu, Personal Covenant God}.
8 They sink down {karu: abrupt submission} and fall, but we rise and stand upright {nitodad: upright stance}.
9 LORD {YHWH, Deliverer}, save! May the King answer us on the day we call {qareenu: earnest petition}.
