| 1 A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: |
|
| 2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. |

|
| 12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: |
|
| 13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: |
|
| 14 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets. |
|
| 15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. |
