1A Psalm of David1732. Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 my strength6697, which teacheth3925 my hands3027 to war7128, and my fingers676 to fight4421:
2My goodness2617, and my fortress4686; my high tower4869, and my deliverer6403; my shield4043, and he in whom I trust2620; who subdueth7286 my people5971 under me.
3LORD3068, what is man120, that thou takest knowledge3045 of him! or the son1121 of man582, that thou makest account2803 of him!
4Man120 is like1819 to vanity1892: his days3117 are as a shadow6738 that passeth away5674.
5Bow5186 thy heavens8064, O LORD3068, and come down3381: touch5060 the mountains2022, and they shall smoke6225.
6Cast forth1299 lightning1300, and scatter6327 them: shoot out7971 thine arrows2671, and destroy2000 them.
7Send7971 thine hand3027 from above4791; rid6475 me, and deliver5337 me out of great7227 waters4325, from the hand3027 of strange5236 children1121;
8Whose mouth6310 speaketh1696 vanity7723, and their right hand3225 is a right hand3225 of falsehood8267.
9I will sing7891 a new2319 song7892 unto thee, O God430: upon a psaltery5035 and an instrument of ten strings6218 will I sing praises2167 unto thee.
10It is he that giveth5414 salvation8668 unto kings4428: who delivereth6475 David1732 his servant5650 from the hurtful7451 sword2719.
11Rid6475 me, and deliver5337 me from the hand3027 of strange5236 children1121, whose mouth6310 speaketh1696 vanity7723, and their right hand3225 is a right hand3225 of falsehood8267:
12That our sons1121 may be as plants5195 grown up1431 in their youth5271; that our daughters1323 may be as corner stones2106, polished2404 after the similitude8403 of a palace1964:
13That our garners4200 may be full4392, affording6329 all manner of store2177 2177: that our sheep6629 may bring forth thousands503 and ten thousands7231 in our streets2351:
14That our oxen441 may be strong to labour5445; that there be no breaking in6556, nor going out3318; that there be no complaining6682 in our streets7339.
15Happy835 is that people5971, that is in such a case3602: yea, happy835 is that people5971, whose God430 is the LORD3068.
