[1] May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,
[2] send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,
[3] remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. Selah.
[4] May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.
