A Psalm of David{H1732}. Blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be the LORD{H3068} my strength{H6697}, which teacheth{H3925}{(H8764)} my hands{H3027} to war{H7128}, and my fingers{H676} to fight{H4421}:

My goodness{H2617}, and my fortress{H4686}; my high tower{H4869}, and my deliverer{H6403}{(H8764)}; my shield{H4043}, and he in whom I trust{H2620}{(H8804)}; who subdueth{H7286}{(H8802)} my people{H5971} under me.

LORD{H3068}, what is man{H120}, that thou takest knowledge{H3045}{(H8799)} of him! or the son{H1121} of man{H582}, that thou makest account{H2803}{(H8762)} of him!

Man{H120} is like{H1819}{(H8804)} to vanity{H1892}: his days{H3117} are as a shadow{H6738} that passeth away{H5674}{(H8802)}.

Bow{H5186}{(H8685)} thy heavens{H8064}, O LORD{H3068}, and come down{H3381}{(H8799)}: touch{H5060}{(H8798)} the mountains{H2022}, and they shall smoke{H6225}{(H8799)}.

Cast forth{H1299}{(H8798)} lightning{H1300}, and scatter{H6327}{(H8686)} them: shoot out{H7971}{(H8798)} thine arrows{H2671}, and destroy{H2000}{(H8799)} them.

Send{H7971}{(H8798)} thine hand{H3027} from above{H4791}; rid{H6475}{(H8798)} me, and deliver{H5337}{(H8685)} me out of great{H7227} waters{H4325}, from the hand{H3027} of strange{H5236} children{H1121};

Whose mouth{H6310} speaketh{H1696}{(H8765)} vanity{H7723}, and their right hand{H3225} is a right hand{H3225} of falsehood{H8267}.

I will sing{H7891}{(H8799)} 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}{(H8762)} unto thee.

It is he that giveth{H5414}{(H8802)} salvation{H8668} unto kings{H4428}: who delivereth{H6475}{(H8802)} David{H1732} his servant{H5650} from the hurtful{H7451} sword{H2719}.

Rid{H6475}{(H8798)} me, and deliver{H5337}{(H8685)} me from the hand{H3027} of strange{H5236} children{H1121}, whose mouth{H6310} speaketh{H1696}{(H8765)} vanity{H7723}, and their right hand{H3225} is a right hand{H3225} of falsehood{H8267}:

That our sons{H1121} may be as plants{H5195} grown up{H1431}{(H8794)} in their youth{H5271}; that our daughters{H1323} may be as corner stones{H2106}, polished{H2404}{(H8794)} after the similitude{H8403} of a palace{H1964}:

That our garners{H4200} may be full{H4392}, affording{H6329}{(H8688)} all manner of store{H2177}{H2177}: that our sheep{H6629} may bring forth thousands{H503}{(H8688)} and ten thousands{H7231}{(H8794)} in our streets{H2351}:

That our oxen{H441} may be strong to labour{H5445}{(H8794)}; that there be no breaking in{H6556}, nor going out{H3318}{(H8802)}; that there be no complaining{H6682} in our streets{H7339}.

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}.
