1Of David. Blessed be the LORD, who trains my hands for battle and my fingers for battle.2He is my steadfast love and my fortress, my high refuge and my deliverer, my shield; in him I have taken refuge, the one who subdues my people under me.3O LORD, what is man that you know him, or the son of man that you consider him?4Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.5O LORD, stretch out your heavens and come down; touch the mountains so that they smoke.6Flash forth lightning and scatter them; send out your arrows and rout them.7Stretch out your hands from on high; rescue me and deliver me from abundant waters, from the hand of foreigners.8Whose mouths speak falsehood and whose right hands are right hands of deceit.9O God, I will sing to you a new song; with a ten-stringed harp I will make music to you.10The one who gives victory to kings and delivers David his servant from the deadly sword.11Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouths speak falsehood and whose right hands are right hands of deceit.12May our sons in their youth be like plants that grow tall; may our daughters be like corner pillars carved for a palace.13May our storehouses be full, supplying produce of every kind; may our flocks increase by thousands and ten thousands in our fields.14May our cattle be heavy with young and may there be no breach, no going forth, and no outcry in our streets.15Blessed is the people to whom such blessings belong; blessed is the people whose God is the LORD.
