2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;†‡
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.§
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
