[1] 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!
