^[1]  Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, Andmy fingers to fight:

^[1]  ---

^[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.

^[2]  ---

^[3]  Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?

^[3]  ---

^[4]  Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.

^[4]  ---

^[5]  Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

^[5]  ---

^[6]  Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.

^[6]  ---

^[7]  Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens;

^[7]  ---

^[8]  Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

^[8]  ---

^[9]  I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

^[9]  ---

^[10]  Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

^[10]  ---

^[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.

^[11]  ---

^[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;

^[12]  ---

^[13]  Whenour garners are full, affording all manner of store, Andour sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

^[13]  ---

^[14]  Whenour oxen are well laden; When there isno breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets:

^[14]  ---

^[15]  Happy is the people that is in such a case; Yea, happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.
