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.
