1 The Church blesseth the King in his exploits. 7 Her confidence in Gods succour.
1 [To the chiefe Musician. A Psalme of Dauid.] The Lord heare thee in the day of trouble, the Name of the God of Iacob defend thee.1
2 Send thee helpe from the Sanctuary: and strengthen thee out of Sion.2
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice. Selah.3
4 Graunt thee according to thine owne heart, and fulfill all thy counsell.
6 Now know I, that the Lord saueth his Anointed: he wil heare him from his holy heauen, with the sauing strength of his right hand.6
7 Some trust in charets, and some in horses: but wee will remember the Name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought downe and fallen: but we are risen, and stand vpright.
9 Saue Lord, let the King heare vs when we call.
