Darby Bible

[A Psalm] of David.

1BlessedH1288 be Jehovah my rockH6697, who teacheth my handsH3027 to warH4421, my fingersH676 to fight;2My mercy and my fortress, my high tower and my delivererH6403, my shieldH4043 and he in whom I trust, who subdueth my peopleH5971 under me!3Jehovah, what is manH120, that thou takest knowledge of him, the sonH1121 of manH120, that thou takest thought of him?4ManH120 is likeH1819 to vanityH1892; his daysH3117 are as a shadowH6738 that passeth awayH5674.5Jehovah, bow thy heavensH8064, and comeH3381 down; touchH5060 the mountainsH2022, that they smokeH6225;6Cast forthH7971 lightningsH1300, and scatterH6327 them; sendH7971 forthH7971 thine arrowsH2671, and discomfit them:7StretchH7971 out thy handsH3027 from above; rescueH5337 me, and deliverH5337 me out of greatH7227 watersH4325, from the handH3027 of aliens,8Whose mouthH6310 speaketh vanityH7723, and their rightH3225 handH3225 is a rightH3225 handH3225 of falsehoodH8267.9O 1GodH430, I will singH2167 a newH2319 songH7892 unto thee; with the ten-stringed lute will I singH2167 psalms unto thee:10Who givest salvationH8668 unto kingsH4428; who rescuest DavidH1732 thy servantH5650 from the hurtful swordH2719.11RescueH5337 me, and deliverH5337 me from the handH3027 of aliens, whose mouthH6310 speaketh vanityH7723, and their rightH3225 handH3027 is a rightH3225 handH3027 of falsehoodH8267.12That our sonsH1121 may be as plants grownH1431 up in their youthH5271; our daughtersH1323 as corner-columns, sculptured after the fashion of a palaceH1964:13Our granaries fullH4392, affording all manner of store; our sheepH6629 bringing forth thousands, ten thousands in our pastures;14Our kine laden [with young]; no breaking in and no goingH3318 forthH3318, and no outcryH6682 in our streets.15Blessed the peopleH5971 that is in such a case! Blessed the peopleH5971 whose 2GodH430 is Jehovah!
