By David. Blessed [is] Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.
- 2
My kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my people under me!
- 3
Jehovah, what [is] man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?
- 4
Man to vanity hath been like, His days [are] as a shadow passing by.
- 5
Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.
- 6
Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them,
- 7
Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,
- 8
Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood.
- 9
O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee.
- 10
Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil.
- 11
Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood,
- 12
Because our sons [are] as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished -- the likeness of a palace,
- 13
Our garners [are] full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places,
- 14
Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.
- 15
O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the happiness of the people whose God [is] Jehovah!
