1. |
{By David.} Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to battle:
|
|
2. |
my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge; who subdues my people under me.
|
|
3. |
Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?
|
|
4. |
Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.
|
|
5. |
Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
|
|
6. |
Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them.
|
|
7. |
Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners;
|
|
8. |
whose mouths speak deceit, Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
|
|
9. |
I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.
|
|
10. |
You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.
|
|
11. |
Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
|
|
12. |
Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.
|
|
13. |
Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
|
|
14. |
Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets.
|
|
15. |
Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh. {}
