1BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, 1my rockH6697, Who 2trainsH3925 my handsH3027 for warH7128, And my fingersH676 for battleH4421;2My lovingkindnessH2617 and 3my fortressH4686, My 4strongholdH4869 and my delivererH6403, My 5shieldH4043 and He in whom I takeH2620 refugeH2620, Who 6subduesH7286 7my peopleH5971 underH8478 me.3O LordH3068, 8whatH4100 is manH120, that You takeH3045 knowledgeH3045 of him? Or the sonH1121 of manH582, that You thinkH2803 of him?49ManH120 is likeH1819 a mereH1892 breathH1892; His 10daysH3117 are like a passingH5674 shadowH6738.
511BowH5186 Your heavensH8064, O LordH3068, and 12comeH3381 downH3381; 13TouchH5060 the mountainsH2022, that they may smokeH6225.6FlashH1299 forthH1299 14lightningH1300 and scatterH6327 them; SendH7971 out Your 15arrowsH2671 and confuseH2000 them.7StretchH7971 forthH7971 Your handH3027 16from on highH4791; RescueH6475 me and 17deliverH5337 me out of greatH7227 watersH4325, Out of the handH3027 of 18aliensH1121H52368WhoseH834 mouthsH6310 19speakH1696 deceitH7723, And whose 20rightH3225 handH3225 is a rightH3225 handH3225 of falsehoodH8267.
9I will singH7891 a 21newH2319 songH7892 to You, O GodH430; Upon a 22harpH5035 of tenH6218 stringsH6218 I will singH2167 praisesH2167 to You,10Who 23givesH5414 salvationH8668 to kingsH4428, Who 24rescuesH6475 DavidH1732 His servantH5650 from the evilH7451 swordH2719.11RescueH6475 me and deliverH5337 me out of the handH3027 of 25aliensH1121H5236, WhoseH834 mouthH6310 26speaksH1696 deceitH7723 And whose 27rightH3225 handH3225 is a rightH3225 handH3225 of falsehoodH8267.
12Let our sonsH1121 in their youthH5271 be as 28grown-upH1431 plantsH5195, And our daughtersH1323 as 29cornerH2106 pillars 30fashionedH2404 as for a palaceH1964;13Let our 31garnersH4200 be fullH4392, furnishingH6329 everyH2177 kindH2177 of produce, And our flocksH6629 bringH503 forthH503 thousandsH505 and tenH7232 thousandsH7232 in our 32fieldsH2351;14Let our 33cattleH441 34bearH5445 WithoutH369 3536mishapH6556 and withoutH369 3738lossH3318, Let there be noH369 39outcryH6682 in our streetsH7339!15How blessedH835 are the peopleH5971 whoH7945 are soH3602 situated; How 40blessedH835 are the peopleH5971 whoseH7945 GodH430 is the LordH3068!
