The day of calamity
1
Unto the end. A psalm for David.
2
May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.
3
May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.
4
May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.
5
May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.
6
We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.
7
The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.
8
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.
9
They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright. O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
