The Message Bible MSG
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 God answer you on the day you crash, The name God-of-Jacob put you out of harm's reach,
1
To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,
2 Send reinforcements from Holy Hill, Dispatch from Zion fresh supplies,
2
He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,
3 Exclaim over your offerings, Celebrate your sacrifices,
3
He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offeringdoth reduce to ashes. Selah.
4 Give you what your heart desires, Accomplish your plans.
4
He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.
5 When you win, we plan to raise the roof and lead the parade with our banners. May all your wishes come true!
5
We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.
6 That clinches it - help's coming, an answer's on the way, everything's going to work out.
6
Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.
7 See those people polishing their chariots, and those others grooming their horses? But we're making garlands for God our God.
7
Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.
8 The chariots will rust, those horses pull up lame - and we'll be on our feet, standing tall.
8
They -- they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.
9 Make the king a winner, God; the day we call, give us your answer.
9
O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!
