1A Psalm of David. Blessed<1288> be the LORD<3068>, my rock<6697>, Who trains<3925> my hands<3027> for war<7128>, And my fingers<676> for battle<4421>;
2My lovingkindness<2617> and my fortress<4686>, My stronghold<4869> and my deliverer<6403>, My shield<4043> and He in whom I take<2620> refuge<2620>, Who subdues<7286> my people<5971> under<8478> me.
3O LORD<3068>, what<4100> is man<120>, that You take<3045> knowledge<3045> of him? Or the son<1121> of man<582>, that You think<2803> of him?
4Man<120> is like<1819> a mere<1892> breath<1892>; His days<3117> are like a passing<5674> shadow<6738>.
5Bow<5186> Your heavens<8064>, O LORD<3068>, and come<3381> down<3381>; Touch<5060> the mountains<2022>, that they may smoke<6225>.
6Flash<1299> forth<1299> lightning<1300> and scatter<6327> them; Send<7971> out Your arrows<2671> and confuse<2000> them.
7Stretch<7971> forth<7971> Your hand<3027> from on high<4791>; Rescue<6475> me and deliver<5337> me out of great<7227> waters<4325>, Out of the hand<3027> of aliens<1121><5236>
8Whose<834> mouths<6310> speak<1696> deceit<7723>, And whose right<3225> hand<3225> is a right<3225> hand<3225> of falsehood<8267>.
9I will sing<7891> a new<2319> song<7892> to You, O God<430>; Upon a harp<5035> of ten<6218> strings<6218> I will sing<2167> praises<2167> to You,
10Who gives<5414> salvation<8668> to kings<4428>, Who rescues<6475> David<1732> His servant<5650> from the evil<7451> sword<2719>.
11Rescue<6475> me and deliver<5337> me out of the hand<3027> of aliens<1121><5236>, Whose<834> mouth<6310> speaks<1696> deceit<7723> And whose right<3225> hand<3225> is a right<3225> hand<3225> of falsehood<8267>.
12Let our sons<1121> in their youth<5271> be as grown-up<1431> plants<5195>, And our daughters<1323> as corner<2106> pillars fashioned<2404> as for a palace<1964>;
13Let our garners<4200> be full<4392>, furnishing<6329> every<2177> kind<2177> of produce, And our flocks<6629> bring<503> forth<503> thousands<505> and ten<7232> thousands<7232> in our fields<2351>;
14Let our cattle<441> bear<5445> Without<369> mishap<6556> and without<369> loss<3318>, Let there be no<369> outcry<6682> in our streets<7339>!
15How blessed<835> are the people<5971> who<7945> are so<3602> situated; How blessed<835> are the people<5971> whose<7945> God<430> is the LORD<3068>!
