By David.

[1] Blessed be Yahweh, my rock,
who trains 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 produce 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.
King James Version

A Psalm of David. H1732

[1] Blessed H1288 be the Lord H3068 my strength, H6697§
Which teacheth H3925 my hands H3027 to war, H7128§ and my fingers H676 to fight: H4421
[2] My goodness, H2617§ and my fortress; H4686 My high tower, H4869 and my deliverer; H6403 My shield, H4043 and he in whom I trust; H2620
Who subdueth H7286 my people H5971 under me.
[3] Lord, H3068 what is man, H120 that thou takest knowledge H3045 of him!
Or the son H1121 of man, H582 that thou makest account H2803 of him!
[4] Man H120 is like H1819 to vanity: H1892
His days H3117 are as a shadow H6738 that passeth away. H5674
[5] Bow H5186 thy heavens, H8064 O Lord, H3068 and come down: H3381
Touch H5060 the mountains, H2022 and they shall smoke. H6225
[6] Cast forth H1299 lightning, H1300 and scatter H6327 them:
Shoot out H7971 thine arrows, H2671 and destroy H2000 them.
[7] Send H7971 thine hand H3027§ from above; H4791
Rid H6475 me, and deliver H5337 me out of great H7227 waters, H4325 from the hand H3027 of strange H5236 children; H1121
[8] Whose H834 mouth H6310 speaketh H1696 vanity, H7723
And their right hand H3225 is a right hand H3225 of falsehood. H8267
[9] I will sing H7891 a new H2319 song H7892 unto thee, O God: H430
Upon a psaltery H5035 and an instrument of ten strings H6218 will I sing praises H2167 unto thee.
[10] It is he that giveth H5414 salvation H8668§ unto kings: H4428
Who delivereth H6475 H853 David H1732 his servant H5650 from the hurtful H7451 sword. H2719
[11] Rid H6475 me, and deliver H5337 me from the hand H3027 of strange H5236 children, H1121
Whose H834 mouth H6310 speaketh H1696 vanity, H7723 and their right hand H3225 is a right hand H3225 of falsehood: H8267
[12] That our sons H1121 may be as plants H5195 grown up H1431 in their youth; H5271
That our daughters H1323 may be as corner stones, H2106 polished H2404§ after the similitude H8403 of a palace: H1964
[13] That our garners H4200 may be full, H4392 affording H6329 all manner of store: H2177§
H2177 That our sheep H6629 may bring forth thousands H503 and ten thousands H7231 in our streets: H2351
[14] That our oxen H441 may be strong to labour; H5445§
That there be no breaking in, H6556 nor going out; H3318 That there be no complaining H6682 in our streets. H7339
[15] Happy H835 is that people, H5971 that is in such a case: H3602
Yea, happy H835 is that people, H5971 whose God H430 is the Lord. H3068
