For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;(A)
may the name of the God of Jacob(B) protect you.(C)

and accept your burnt offerings.[b](I)

The Lord gives victory to his anointed.(O)

with the victorious power of his right hand.(P)

but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.(S)

but we rise up(U) and stand firm.(V)
9 Lord, give victory to the king!
Answer us(W) when we call!

Fais triompher notre Roi !
20 Au chef de chœur. Cantique de David.
2 Que l’Eternel t’exauce ╵au jour de la détresse,
et que le Dieu de Jacob te protège.
3 Que, de son sanctuaire, ╵il t’envoie du secours,
et que, depuis Sion, ╵il te soutienne !
4 Qu’il tienne compte ╵de toutes tes offrandes,
et que tes holocaustes ╵soient agréés par lui.
Pause
5 Qu’il daigne t’accorder ╵ce que ton cœur souhaite !
Qu’il fasse s’accomplir ╵tout ce que tu projettes !
6 Pour fêter ta victoire, ╵nous crierons notre joie,
déployant nos bannières ╵pour la gloire de notre Dieu.
Que l’Eternel ╵exauce toutes tes requêtes !
7 Oui, je sais maintenant, ╵que l’Eternel sauve son roi ╵qui a reçu l’onction,
il lui répond ╵de sa demeure sainte au ciel,
en opérant sa délivrance ╵par l’action de sa force.
8 Aux uns, les chars de guerre, ╵aux autres, les chevaux.
Pour notre part, ╵c’est sur l’Eternel, notre Dieu ╵que nous comptons.
9 Eux, ils fléchissent et ils tombent,
nous, nous restons debout ╵et tenons fermement.
10 Eternel, sauve notre roi !
Qu’il nous réponde ╵quand nous faisons appel à lui[a].
