1 Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, Andmy fingers to fight:
1By David. Blessed <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.
1Praise, for David himself. I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
2My 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.
2My kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my people under me!
2Every day will I bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
3Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
3Jehovah, what <FI>is<Fi> man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?
3Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.
4Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.
4Man to vanity hath been like, His days <FI>are<Fi> as a shadow passing by.
4Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.
5Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
5Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.
5They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.
6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.
6Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them,
6And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.
7Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens;
7Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,
7They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.
8Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
8Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand <FI>is<Fi> a right hand of falsehood.
8The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.
9I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
9O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee.
9The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
10Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil.
10Let all thy works, O Lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.
11Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
11Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand <FI>is<Fi> a right hand of falsehood,
11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:
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;
12Because our sons <FI>are<Fi> as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished--the likeness of a palace,
12To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.
13Whenour garners are full, affording all manner of store, Andour sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
13Our garners <FI>are<Fi> full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places,
13Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words: and holy in all his works.
14Whenour oxen are well laden; When there isno breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets:
14Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.
14The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.
15Happy is the people that is in such a case; Yea, happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.
15O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the happiness of the people whose God <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah!
15The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.
