A Prayer for Victory
1 May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble!
May the God of Jacob protect you!
2 May he send you help from his Temple
and give you aid from Mount Zion.
3 May he accept all your offerings
and be pleased with all your sacrifices.
4 May he give you what you desire
and make all your plans succeed.
5 Then we will shout for joy over your victory
and celebrate your triumph by praising our God.
May the Lord answer all your requests.
6 Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his chosen king;
he answers him from his holy heaven
and by his power gives him great victories.
7 Some trust in their war chariots
and others in their horses,
but we trust in the power of the Lord our God.
8 Such people will stumble and fall,
but we will rise and stand firm.
9 Give victory to the king, O Lord;
answer us when we call.
صلاة من أجل الملك
1 لِكبـيرِ المُغَنِّينَ، لِداوُدَ:
2 يُعينُكَ الرّبُّ يومَ الضِّيقِ.
يَرفَعُكَ اسمُ إلهِ يَعقوبَ.
3 يُرسِلُ لكَ مِنْ مَقدِسِهِ نَصْرا،
ويُشدِّدُ ساعِدَك مِنْ صِهيَونَ.
4 يذكُرُ جميعَ تقدِماتِكَ
ويقبَلُ مُحرقاتِكَ كُلَّها.
5 يُعطيكَ رغَباتِ قلبِكَ
ويُتَمِّمُ كُلَّ مقاصِدِكَ.
6 لِنُرَنِّمْ فرَحا بِـخلاصِكَ،
ونرفَعِ الرَّايةَ بِاسمِ إلهِنا،
فالرّبُّ سَيُتَمِّمُ كُلَّ طَلَباتِكَ.
7 الآنَ عَرفْتُ أنَّ الرّبَّ
يُخَلِّصُ المَلِكَ الّذي مَسَحَهُ.
يُعينُهُ مِنْ قُدْسِ سمائِهِ
وبِـجَبَرُوتِ يَمينهِ يُخَلِّصُهُ.
8 لهُم مَركباتُهُم والخُيولُ،
ولنا اسمُ الرّبِّ إلهِنا.
نذكُرُهُ ونُسَبِّحُ لهُ.
9 هُم يَرتَمونَ ويَسقُطونَ
ونحنُ نقومُ مُتَأهِّبـينَ.
10 ياربُّ خَلِّصِ المَلِكَ
واسْتَجِبْ يومَ ندعُوكَ.
