Verse 3

In thy salvation we rejoice, and in God's name our banners raise; Jehovah hearken to thy voice, fulfill thy prayers through all thy days.

Verse 4

Salvation will the LORD command, and His anointed will defend; yea, with the strength of His right hand from heav'n He will an answer send.

How vain their every confidence who on mere human help rely; but we remember for defense the name of God, the LORD Most High.

Now we arise and upright stand, while they, subdued and helpless fall; Jehovah, save us by Thy hand, the King give answer when we call.
