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.
1 Praise be to the God of my strength, teaching my hands the use of the sword, and my fingers the art of fighting:
1By David. Blessed <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.
2Every day will I bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
2He is my strength, and my Rock; my high tower, and my saviour; my keeper and my hope: he gives me authority over my people.
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!
3Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.
3Lord, what is man, that you keep him in mind? or the son of man that you take him into account?
3Jehovah, what <FI>is<Fi> man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?
4Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.
4Man is like a breath: his life is like a shade which is quickly gone.
4Man to vanity hath been like, His days <FI>are<Fi> as a shadow passing by.
5They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.
5Come down, O Lord, from your heavens: at your touch let the mountains give out smoke.
5Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.
6And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.
6With your storm-flames send them in flight: send out your arrows for their destruction.
6Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them,
7They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.
7Put out your hand from on high; make me free, take me safely out of the great waters, and out of the hands of strange men;
7Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,
8The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.
8In whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.
8Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand <FI>is<Fi> a right hand of falsehood.
9The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
9I will make a new song to you, O God; I will make melody to you on an instrument of ten cords.
9O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee.
10Let all thy works, O Lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.
10It is God who gives salvation to kings; and who kept his servant David from the wounding sword.
10Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil.
11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:
11Make me free, and take me out of the hands of strange men, in whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.
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,
12To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.
12Our sons are like tall young plants; and our daughters like the shining stones of a king's house;
12Because our sons <FI>are<Fi> as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished--the likeness of a palace,
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.
13Our store-houses are full of all good things; and our sheep give birth to 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,
14The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.
14Our oxen are well weighted down; our cows give birth safely; there is no going out, and there is no cry of sorrow in our open places.
14Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.
15The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.
15Happy is the nation whose ways are so ordered: yes, happy is the nation whose God is the Lord.
15O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the happiness of the people whose God <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah!
16Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.
