Your people will offer themselves willingly [to participate in Your battle] in the day of Your power;In the splendor of holiness, from the womb of the dawn,Your young men are to You as the dew.

“Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;Do not further their evil device, that they not be exalted. Selah.
