Of David.

1BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, my RockH6697,who trainsH3925 my handsH3027 for warH7128,my fingersH676 for battleH4421.2He is my steadfast loveH2617 and my fortressH4686,my strongholdH4869 and my delivererH6403.He is my shieldH4043, in whom I take refugeH2620,who subduesH7286 peoplesH5971 1 under meH8478.

3O LORDH3068, whatH4100 is manH120, that You regard himH3045,the son of manH1121 thatH582 You think of himH2803?4ManH120 is likeH1819 a breathH1892;his daysH3117 are like a passingH5674 shadowH6738.

5PartH5186 Your heavensH8064, O LORDH3068, and come downH3381;touchH5060 the mountainsH2022, that they may smokeH6225.6Flash forthH1299 Your lightningH1300 and scatter themH6327;shootH7971 Your arrowsH2671 and rout themH2000.7Reach downH7971 from on highH4791;set me freeH6475 and rescue meH5337from the deepH7227 H3027 watersH4325,from the graspH3027 of foreignersH1121 H5236,8whoseH834 mouthsH6310 speakH1696 falsehoodH7723,whose right handsH3225 are deceitfulH8267.

9I will singH7892 to You a newH2319 songH7891, O GodH430;on a harpH5035 of ten stringsH6218 I will make musicH2167 to You—10to Him who givesH5414 victoryH8668 to kingsH4428,who freesH6475 His servantH5650 DavidH1732 from the deadlyH7451 swordH2719.11Set me freeH6475 and rescue meH5337from the graspH3027 of foreignersH1121 H5236,whoseH834 mouthsH6310 speakH1696 falsehoodH7723,whose right handsH3225 are deceitfulH8267.

12ThenH834 our sonsH1121 will be like plantsH5195nurturedH1431 in their youthH5271,our daughtersH1323 like corner pillarsH2106carvedH2404 to adornH8403 a palaceH1964.13Our storehousesH4200 will be fullH4392,supplyingH6329 all manner ofH2177 H413 produceH2177;our flocksH6629 will bring forth thousandsH503,tens of thousandsH7231 in our fieldsH2351.14Our oxenH441 will bear great loadsH5445.2There will be noH369 breach in the wallsH6556,noH369 going into captivityH3318,and noH369 cry of lamentH6682 in our streetsH7339.

15BlessedH835 are the peopleH5971 of whom this is soH3602;blessedH835 are the peopleH5971 whose GodH430 is the LORDH3068.
