A prayer for the king in the day of trouble

יַֽעַנְךָ יְהוָה בְּיוֹם צָרָה יְשַׂגֶּבְךָ שֵׁם׀ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃
1
The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
יִשְׁלַֽח-עֶזְרְךָ מִקֹּדֶשׁ וּמִצִּיּוֹן יִסְעָדֶֽךָּ׃
2
Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
יִזְכֹּר כָּל-מִנְחֹתֶךָ וְעוֹלָתְךָ יְדַשְּׁנֶה סֶֽלָה׃
3
Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
יִֽתֶּן-לְךָ כִלְבָבֶךָ וְֽכָל-עֲצָתְךָ יְמַלֵּֽא׃
4
Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
נְרַנְּנָה׀ בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ וּבְשֵֽׁם-אֱלֹהֵינוּ נִדְגֹּל יְמַלֵּא יְהוָה כָּל-מִשְׁאֲלוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
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.
עַתָּה יָדַעְתִּי כִּי הוֹשִׁיעַ׀ יְהוָה מְשִׁיחוֹ יַעֲנֵהוּ מִשְּׁמֵי קָדְשׁוֹ בִּגְבֻרוֹת יֵשַׁע יְמִינֽוֹ׃
6
Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
אֵלֶּה בָרֶכֶב וְאֵלֶּה בַסּוּסִים וַאֲנַחְנוּ׀ בְּשֵׁם-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ נַזְכִּֽיר׃
7
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
הֵמָּה כָּרְעוּ וְנָפָלוּ וַאֲנַחְנוּ קַּמְנוּ וַנִּתְעוֹדָֽד׃
8
They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
יְהוָה הוֹשִׁיעָה הַמֶּלֶךְ יַעֲנֵנוּ בְיוֹם-קָרְאֵֽנוּ׃
9
Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
