1 Blessed be Jehovah my rock, who teacheth my hands to war, my fingers to fight;
1Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, Andmy fingers to fight:
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.
2 My mercy and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I trust, who subdueth my people under me!
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.
2Every day will I bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
3 Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him, the son of man, that thou takest thought of him?
3Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
3Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.
4 Man is like to vanity; his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
4Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.
4Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.
5 Jehovah, bow thy heavens, and come down; touch the mountains, that they smoke;
5Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
5They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.
6 Cast forth lightnings, and scatter them; send forth thine arrows, and discomfit them:
6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.
6And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.
7 Stretch out thy hands from above; rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of aliens,
7Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens;
7They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.
8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
8Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
8The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.
9 OGod, I will sing a new song unto thee; with the ten-stringed lute will I sing psalms unto thee:
9I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
9The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 Who givest salvation unto kings; who rescuest David thy servant from the hurtful sword.
10Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
10Let all thy works, O Lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.
11 Rescue me, and deliver me from the hand of aliens, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
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.
11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:
12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; our daughters as corner-columns, sculptured after the fashion of a palace:
12When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;
12To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.
13 Our granaries full, affording all manner of store; our sheep bringing forth thousands, ten thousands in our pastures;
13Whenour garners are full, affording all manner of store, Andour sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
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.
14 Our kine laden [with young]; no breaking in and no going forth, and no outcry in our streets.
14Whenour oxen are well laden; When there isno breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets:
14The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.
15 Blessed the people that is in such a case! Blessed the people whoseGod is Jehovah!
15Happy is the people that is in such a case; Yea, happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.
15The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.
