1[i]A Psalm[/i] of David. Blessed be the LORD my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle—1Of David. Blessed be the LORD, my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
2My lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my deliverer, My shield and the One in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me.2He is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer. He is my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
3LORD, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him?3O LORD, what is man, that You regard him, the son of man that You think of him?
4Man is like a breath; His days are like a passing shadow.4Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
5Bow down Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.5Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
6Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Shoot out Your arrows and destroy them.6Flash forth Your lightning and scatter them; shoot Your arrows and rout them.
7Stretch out Your hand from above; Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, From the hand of foreigners,7Reach down from on high; set me free and rescue me from the deep waters, from the grasp of foreigners,
8Whose mouth speaks lying words, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.8whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.
9I will sing a new song to You, O God; On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,9I will sing to You a new song, O God; on a harp of ten strings I will make music to You—
10The One who gives salvation to kings, Who delivers David His servant From the deadly sword.10to Him who gives victory to kings, who frees His servant David from the deadly sword.
11Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks lying words, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood—11Set me free and rescue me from the grasp of foreigners, whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.
12That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; That our daughters may be as pillars, Sculptured in palace style;12Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars carved to adorn a palace.
13That our barns may be full, Supplying all kinds of produce; That our sheep may bring forth thousands And ten thousands in our fields;13Our storehouses will be full, supplying all manner of produce; our flocks will bring forth thousands, tens of thousands in our fields.
14That our oxen may be well laden; That there be no breaking in or going out; That there be no outcry in our streets.14Our oxen will bear great loads. There will be no breach in the walls, no going into captivity, and no cry of lament in our streets.
15Happy are the people who are in such a state; Happy are the people whose God is the LORD!15Blessed are the people of whom this is so; blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.
