Latin text

1  Exaudiat te, Dominus in die tribulationis: protegat te nomen Dei Iacob.

2  Mittat tibi auxilium de sancto: et de Sion tueatur te.

3  Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui: et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat.

4  Tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum: et omne consilium tuum confirmet.

5  Laetabimur in salutari tuo, et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur: impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas.

6  Nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus Christum suum: Exaudiat illum de caelo sancto suo in potentatibus salus dexterae eius.

7  Hi in curribus, et hi in equis: nos autem in nomine Domini Dei nostri invocabimus.

8  Ipsi obligati sunt et ceciderunt: nos autem surreximus et erecti sumus.

9  Domine, salvum fac regem: et exaudi nos in die, qua invocaverimus te.

Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

English text

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 sanctuary : and strengthen thee out of Sion;

3  Remember all thy offerings : and accept thy burnt-sacrifice;

4  Grant thee thy heart's desire : and fulfil all thy mind.

5  We will rejoice in thy salvation, and triumph in the Name of the Lord our God : the Lord perform all thy petitions.

6  Now know I that the Lord helpeth his Anointed, and will hear him from his holy heaven : even with the wholesome strength of his right hand.

7  Some put their trust 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, and hear us, O King of heaven : when we call upon thee.

King James Version

English text

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 sanctuary, 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 counsel.

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 anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

7  Some trust 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.
