May the Lord answer you when the day goes hard; May the name of Jacob's God put you out of reach. May help reach you from the holy place, And strength be sent to you out of Zion. May He keep in mind everything you brought, And take what you laid down as good. May He give you what your heart is set on And carry through everything you planned. We will be glad on the day you are rescued, And raise our flags in the name of our God. May the Lord give you an answer to every asking. Now I am sure of it: the one He chose, He rescues; He speaks to him out of His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand. Some people stake everything on war-chariots; Some stake it on horses. What we will hold onto is the name Of the Lord our God. They buckled and went down; We are still standing on our feet. Rescue us, Lord. Hear us on the day we call.
