A Psalm of David.
Blessed
be the LORD
my strength,
which teacheth
my hands
to war,
and my fingers
to fight:

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.

LORD,
what is man,
that thou takest knowledge
of him! or the son
of man,
that thou makest account
of him!
Man
is like
to vanity:
his days
are as a shadow
that passeth away.
Bow
thy heavens,
O LORD,
and come down:
touch
the mountains,
and they shall smoke.
Cast forth
lightning,
and scatter
them: shoot out
thine arrows,
and destroy
them.
Send
thine hand
from above;
rid
me, and deliver
me out of great
waters,
from the hand
of strange
children;
Whose mouth
speaketh
vanity,
and their right hand
is a right hand
of falsehood.
I will sing
a new
song
unto thee, O God:
upon a psaltery
and an instrument of ten strings
will I sing praises
unto thee.
It is he that giveth
salvation
unto kings:
who delivereth
David
his servant
from the hurtful
sword.
Rid
me, and deliver
me from the hand
of strange
children,
whose mouth
speaketh
vanity,
and their right hand
is a right hand
of falsehood:
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:

That our garners
may be full,
affording
all manner of store:
that our sheep
may bring forth thousands
and ten thousands
in our streets:
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.
Happy
is that people,
that is in such a case:
yea, happy
is that people,
whose God
is the LORD.
