1David: Blessed be my rock strength Jehovah. He trained my hands to fight and my fingers to do battle, 2My loving kindness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; and my shield in whom I trust; who subdues my people under me. 3Jehovah, what is man, that you notice him or the son of man, that you regard him! 4Man is like a mere breath. His days are like a passing shadow. 5Bow down your heavens, O Jehovah, and come down. Touch the mountains that they may smoke. 6Flash lightning and scatter them. Send out your arrows and confuse them. 7Stretch forth your hand from on high. Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hand of aliens 8Whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 9I will sing a new song to you, O God; upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to you. 10You give salvation to kings. You rescue David your servant from the evil sword. 11Rescue me and deliver me out of the hand of aliens. Their mouths speak deceit. Their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 12Let our sons in their youth be as grown-up plants, and our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace. 13Let our garners be full, furnishing every kind of produce, our flocks bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; 14Let our cattle bear without mishap and without loss. Let there be no outcry in our streets! 15How blessed are the people who are so situated. How blessed are the people whose God is Jehovah!
