Dual Panel1By David <01732>. The Lord <03068>, my protector <06697>, deserves praise <01288>– the one who trains <03925> my hands <03027> for battle <07128>, and my fingers <0676> for war <04421>,
2who loves <02617> me and is my stronghold <04686>, my refuge <04869> and my deliverer <06403>, my shield <04043> and the one in whom I take shelter <02620>, who makes nations <05971> submit <07286> to <08478> me.
3O Lord <03069>, of what <04100> importance is the human race <0120>, that you should notice <03045> them? Of what importance is mankind <0376> <01121>, that you should be concerned <02803> about them?
4People <0120> are like <01819> a vapor <01892>, their days <03117> like a shadow <06738> that disappears <05674>.
5O Lord <03068>, make the sky <08064> sink <05186> and come down <03381>! Touch <05060> the mountains <02022> and make them smolder <06225>!
6Hurl <01299> lightning bolts <01300> and scatter <06327> them! Shoot <07971> your arrows <02671> and rout <02000> them!
7Reach down <07971> from above <04791>! Grab <06475> me and rescue <05337> me from the surging <07227> water <04325>, from the power <03027> of foreigners <05236> <01121>,
8who <0834> speak <01696> lies <07723>, and make false promises <08267>.
9O God <0430>, I will sing <07891> a new <02319> song <07892> to you! Accompanied by a ten-stringed <06218> instrument <05035>, I will sing praises <02167> to you,
10the one who delivers <08668> <05414> kings <04428>, and rescued <06475> David <01732> his servant <05650> from a deadly <07451> sword <02719>.
11Grab <06475> me and rescue <05337> me from the power <03027> of foreigners <05236> <01121>, who <0834> speak <01696> lies <07723>, and make false promises <08267>.
12Then <0834> our sons <01121> will be like plants <05195>, that quickly grow <01431> to full size. Our daughters <01323> will be like corner pillars <02106>, carved <02404> like <08403> those in a palace <01964>.
13Our storehouses <04200> will be full <04392>, providing <06329> all kinds <02177> <02177> of food. Our sheep <06629> will multiply <07231> by the thousands <0503> and fill our pastures <02351>.
14Our cattle <0441> will be weighted down <05445> with produce. No one <0369> will break through <06556> our walls <06556>, no one <0369> will be taken captive <03318>, and there will be no <0369> terrified cries <06682> in our city squares <07339>.
15How blessed <0835> are the people <05971> who experience these things <03602>! How blessed <0835> are the people <05971> whose God <0430> is the Lord <03068>!
