To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
|
1 THE LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2 Send thee help from the
asanctuary, 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 counsela.
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.
6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his
aanointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the
saving strength of his right hand.

4a Thy Will Be Done Though we
pray to God asking and seeking, this particular petition of David says but
what we ought to pray for and seek, that God grant unto us according to his
own heart and purpose which is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal
life of man according to the mind and counsel of the Lord. God knows and does
what is best for us and we ought to trust in him in that his kingdom will
come to our benefit and that in this as in all things it is His Will that
ought to be done and sought after my man.

7 Some atrust in
chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our
God.
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
