1<<[A Psalm] of David <01732>.>> Blessed <01288> (8803) [be] the LORD <03068> my strength <06697>_, which teacheth <03925> (8764) my hands <03027> to war <07128>_, [and] my fingers <0676> to fight <04421>_: {strength: Heb. rock} {to war...: Heb. to the war, etc}
2My goodness <02617>_, and my fortress <04686>_; my high tower <04869>_, and my deliverer <06403> (8764)_; my shield <04043>_, and [he] in whom I trust <02620> (8804)_; who subdueth <07286> (8802) my people <05971> under me. {My goodness: or, My mercy}
3LORD <03068>_, what [is] man <0120>_, that thou takest knowledge <03045> (8799) of him! [or] the son <01121> of man <0582>_, that thou makest account <02803> (8762) of him!
4Man <0120> is like <01819> (8804) to vanity <01892>_: his days <03117> [are] as a shadow <06738> that passeth away <05674> (8802)_.
5Bow <05186> (8685) thy heavens <08064>_, O LORD <03068>_, and come down <03381> (8799)_: touch <05060> (8798) the mountains <02022>_, and they shall smoke <06225> (8799)_.
6Cast forth <01299> (8798) lightning <01300>_, and scatter <06327> (8686) them: shoot out <07971> (8798) thine arrows <02671>_, and destroy <02000> (8799) them.
7Send <07971> (8798) thine hand <03027> from above <04791>_; rid <06475> (8798) me, and deliver <05337> (8685) me out of great <07227> waters <04325>_, from the hand <03027> of strange <05236> children <01121>_; {hand from: Heb. hands from}
8Whose mouth <06310> speaketh <01696> (8765) vanity <07723>_, and their right hand <03225> [is] a right hand <03225> of falsehood <08267>_.
9I will sing <07891> (8799) a new <02319> song <07892> unto thee, O God <0430>_: upon a psaltery <05035> [and] an instrument of ten strings <06218> will I sing praises <02167> (8762) unto thee.
10[It is he] that giveth <05414> (8802) salvation <08668> unto kings <04428>_: who delivereth <06475> (8802) David <01732> his servant <05650> from the hurtful <07451> sword <02719>_. {salvation: or, victory}
11Rid <06475> (8798) me, and deliver <05337> (8685) me from the hand <03027> of strange <05236> children <01121>_, whose mouth <06310> speaketh <01696> (8765) vanity <07723>_, and their right hand <03225> [is] a right hand <03225> of falsehood <08267>_:
12That our sons <01121> [may be] as plants <05195> grown up <01431> (8794) in their youth <05271>_; [that] our daughters <01323> [may be] as corner stones <02106>_, polished <02404> (8794) [after] the similitude <08403> of a palace <01964>_: {polished: Heb. cut}
13[That] our garners <04200> [may be] full <04392>_, affording <06329> (8688) all manner of store <02177> <02177>_: [that] our sheep <06629> may bring forth thousands <0503> (8688) and ten thousands <07231> (8794) in our streets <02351>_: {all...: Heb. from kind to kind}
14[That] our oxen <0441> [may be] strong to labour <05445> (8794)_; [that there be] no breaking in <06556>_, nor going out <03318> (8802)_; that [there be] no complaining <06682> in our streets <07339>_. {strong...: Heb. able to bear burdens, or, loaden with flesh}
15Happy <0835> [is that] people <05971>_, that is in such a case <03602>_: [yea], happy <0835> [is that] people <05971>_, whose God <0430> [is] the LORD <03068>_.
