May he grant you your heart’s desire, 4 and fulfill all your plans. May we shout for joy over your victory, 5 and in the name of our God set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord will help his anointed; 6 he will answer him from his holy heaven with mighty victories by his right hand. Some take pride in chariots, and some in horses, 7 but our pride is in the name of the Lord our God. They will collapse and fall, 8 but we shall rise and stand upright. Give victory to the king, O Lord; 9 answer us when we call.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still 2 waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his 3 name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no 4 evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou 5 anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I 6 will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (KJV) by
