To the director. A melody of David.
20 May Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} answer you in the day of distress.
May the name of the Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'} of Yacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the holy place
And sustain you from Zion.
3 May he remember all your gift offerings;
May he accept with favor your burnt offering. (Selah)
4 May he grant you the desires of your heart
And give success to all your plans.
5 We will shout joyfully over your acts of salvation;
We will lift our banners in the name of our Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'}.
May Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} fulfill all your requests.
6 Now I do know that Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} saves his anointed one.
He answers him from his holy heavens
With great salvation by his right hand.
7 Some rely on chariots and others on horses,
But we call on the name of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} our Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'}.
8 They have collapsed and fallen,
But we have risen up and been restored.
9 O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, save the king!
He will answer us in the day we call for help.
