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 (QalPasPtc) be the Lord H3068 my strength, H6697§Which teacheth H3925 (PielPtc) 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 (PielPtc) My shield, H4043 and he in whom I trust; H2620 (QalPerf)
Who subdueth H7286 (QalActPtc) my people H5971 under me.
[3] Lord, H3068 what is man, H120 that thou takest knowledge H3045 (QalImpf) of him!
Or the son H1121 of man, H582 that thou makest account H2803 (PielImpf) of him!
[4] Man H120 is like H1819 (QalPerf) to vanity: H1892
His days H3117 are as a shadow H6738 that passeth away. H5674 (QalActPtc)
[5] Bow H5186 (HiphImpv) thy heavens, H8064 O Lord, H3068 and come down: H3381 (QalImpf)
Touch H5060 (QalImpv) the mountains, H2022 and they shall smoke. H6225 (QalImpf)
[6] Cast forth H1299 (QalImpv) lightning, H1300 and scatter H6327 (HiphImpf) them:
Shoot out H7971 (QalImpv) thine arrows, H2671 and destroy H2000 (QalImpf) them.
[7] Send H7971 (QalImpv) thine hand H3027§ from above; H4791
Rid H6475 (QalImpv) me, and deliver H5337 (HiphImpv) me out of great H7227 waters, H4325 from the hand H3027 of strange H5236 children; H1121
[8] Whose mouth H6310 speaketh H1696 (PielPerf) vanity, H7723
And their right hand H3225 is a right hand H3225 of falsehood. H8267
[9] I will sing H7891 (QalImpf) 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 (PielImpf) unto thee.
[10] It is he that giveth H5414 (QalActPtc) salvation H8668§ unto kings: H4428
Who delivereth H6475 (QalActPtc) David H1732 his servant H5650 from the hurtful H7451 sword. H2719
[11] Rid H6475 (QalImpv) me, and deliver H5337 (HiphImpv) me from the hand H3027 of strange H5236 children, H1121
Whose mouth H6310 speaketh H1696 (PielPerf) 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 (PualPtc) in their youth; H5271
That our daughters H1323 may be as corner stones, H2106 polished H2404 (PualPtc)§ after the similitude H8403 of a palace: H1964
[13] That our garners H4200 may be full, H4392 affording H6329 (HiphPtc) all manner of store: H2177§
That our sheep H6629 may bring forth thousands H503 (HiphPtc) and ten thousands H7231 (PualPtc) in our streets: H2351
[14] That our oxen H441 may be strong to labour;§ H5445 (PualPtc)
That there be no breaking in, H6556 nor going out; H3318 (QalActPtc) 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
