A Prayer for Victory[a]

1 May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble!
    May the God of Jacob protect you!
2 May he send you help from his Temple
    and give you aid from Mount Zion.
3 May he accept all your offerings
    and be pleased with all your sacrifices.
4 May he give you what you desire
    and make all your plans succeed.
5 Then we will shout for joy over your victory
    and celebrate your triumph by praising our God.
May the Lord answer all your requests.

6 Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his chosen king;
    he answers him from his holy heaven
    and by his power gives him great victories.
7 Some trust in their war chariots
    and others in their horses,
    but we trust in the power of the Lord our God.
8 Such people will stumble and fall,
    but we will rise and stand firm.

9 Give victory to the king, O Lord;
    answer[b] us when we call.
