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! |
