1 B y David. Blessed Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.

2 M y kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my people under me!

3 J ehovah, what man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?

4 M an to vanity hath been like, His days as a shadow passing by.

5 J ehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.

6 S end forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them,

7 S end forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,

8 B ecause their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand a right hand of falsehood.

9 O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee.

10 W ho is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil.

11 F ree me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand a right hand of falsehood,

12 B ecause our sons as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished -- the likeness of a palace,

13 O ur garners full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places,

14 O ur oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.

15 O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the happiness of the people whose God Jehovah!
