1. |
By David. Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, Who teaches my hands to war, And my fingers to battle: |
2. | My lovingkindness, 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. |
