9God, I will sing a new song to You; On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You, 10Who gives salvation to kings, Who rescues His servant David from the evil sword. Rescue me and save me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks deceit And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 12When our sons in their youth are like growing plants, And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace, 13Our granaries are full, providing every kind of produce, And our flocks deliver thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
