A Psalm of David. |
1
|
Blessed be YAHUVEH my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, And my
fingers to fight: |
2
|
My lovingkindness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My
shield, and he in whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me. |
3
|
YAHUVEH, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of
man, that thou makest account of him? |
4
|
Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away. |
5
|
Bow thy heavens, O YAHUVEH, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they
shall smoke. |
6
|
Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and
discomfit them. |
7
|
Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of
great waters, Out of the hand of aliens; |
8
|
Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of
falsehood. |
9
|
I will sing a new song unto thee, O YAHUVEH: Upon a psaltery of ten
strings will I sing praises unto thee. |
10
|
Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his
servant from the hurtful sword. |
11
|
Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth
speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. |
12
|
When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our
daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace; |
13
|
When our garners are full, affording all manner of store, And
our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; |
14
|
When our oxen are well laden; When there is no breaking
in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets: |
15
|
Happy is the people that is in such a case; Yea, happy is the
people whose YAHUVEH is YAHUVEH. |
