He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand.
He will answer him from His holy heaven

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;
But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8 They have bowed down and fallen;
But we have risen and stand upright.
But we have risen and stand upright.
9 Save, Lord!
May the King answer us when we call.
May the King answer us when we call.
