1 | A Psalm. Of David. |
2 | He is my strength, and my Rock; my high tower, and my saviour; my keeper and my hope: he gives me authority over my people. |
3 | Lord, what is man, that you keep him in mind? or the son of man that you take him into account? |
4 | Man is like a breath: his life is like a shade which is quickly gone. |
5 | Come down, O Lord, from your heavens: at your touch let the mountains give out smoke. |
6 | With your storm-flames send them in flight: send out your arrows for their destruction. |
7 | Put 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; |
8 | In whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit. |
9 | I will make a new song to you, O God; I will make melody to you on an instrument of ten cords. |
10 | It is God who gives salvation to kings; and who kept his servant David from the wounding sword. |
11 | Make 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. |
12 | Our sons are like tall young plants; and our daughters like the shining stones of a king's house; |
13 | Our store-houses are full of all good things; and our sheep give birth to thousands and ten thousands in our fields. |
14 | Our 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. |
15 | Happy is the nation whose ways are so ordered: yes, happy is the nation whose God is the Lord. |
