| 1 | [A Psalm] of David. Blessed be the LORD my Rock, Who traineth my hands for war, And my fingers for battle; |
| 2 | My lovingkindness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and He in whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me. |
| 3 | LORD, what is man, that Thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that Thou makest account of him? |
| 4 | Man is like unto a breath; His days are as a shadow that passeth away. |
| 5 | O LORD, bow Thy heavens, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke. |
| 6 | Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out Thine arrows, and discomfit them. |
| 7 | Stretch forth Thy hands from on high; Rescue me, and deliver me out of many waters, Out of the hand of strangers; |
| 8 | Whose mouth speaketh falsehood, And their right hand is a right hand of lying. |
| 9 | O God, I will sing a new song unto Thee, Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto Thee; |
| 10 | Who givest salvation unto kings, Who rescuest David Thy servant from the hurtful sword. |
| 11 | Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of strangers, Whose mouth speaketh falsehood, And their right hand is a right hand of lying. |
| 12 | We whose sons are as plants grown up in their youth; Whose daughters are as corner-pillars carved after the fashion of a palace; |
| 13 | Whose garners are full, affording all manner of store; Whose sheep increase by thousands and ten thousands in our fields; |
| 14 | Whose oxen are well laden; With no breach, and no going forth, And no outcry in our broad places; |
| 15 | Happy is the people that is in such a case. Yea, happy is the people whose God is the LORD. |
