\q2 and aid you from where he lives on Mount Zion.

\q1
\v 4 We desire that he may give to you what you desire in your heart,
\q2 and that you may be able to accomplish all that you desire to do.

\v 6 I know now that Yahweh rescues me, the one whom he has chosen to be king.
\q1 From his holy place in heaven he will answer me,
\q2 and he will save me by his great power.
\s5

\v 7 Some kings trust that because they have chariots they will be able to defeat their enemies,
\q2 and some trust that their horses will enable them to defeat their enemies,

\q1
\v 8 Some will stumble and fall down,
\q2 but we will be strong and not be moved.
