The day of calamity

1
Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
2
May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
3
May he send you help from the sanctuary and watch over you from Zion.
4
May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.
5
May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.
6
We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.
7
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.(a)
8
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.
9
They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.
10
O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.
