1 By David. |
|
Blessed [is] Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle. |
|
2 My 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 Jehovah, what [is] man that Thou knowest him Son of man, that Thou esteemest him |
|
4 Man to vanity hath been like, His days [are] as a shadow passing by. |
|
5 Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke. |
|
6 Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them, |
|
7 Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger, |
|
8 Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand [is] 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 Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil. |
|
11 Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood, |
|
12 Because our sons [are] as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished the likeness of a palace, |
|
13 Our garners [are] full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places, |
|
14 Our 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 [is] Jehovah! |
