1
Psalm]
of
David.
Blessed
[be]
the
LORD
my
strength,
which
teacheth
my
hands
to
war,
[and]
my
fingers
to
fight:
2
My
goodness,
and
my
fortress;
my
high
tower,
and
my
deliverer;
my
shield,
and
[he]
in
whom
I
trust;
who
subdueth
my
people
under
3
LORD,
what
[is]
man,
that
thou
takest
knowledge
of
him!
[or]
the
son
of
man,
that
thou
makest
account
of
him!
4
Man
is
like
to
vanity:
his
days
[are]
as
a
shadow
that
passeth
away.
5
Bow
thy
heavens,
O
LORD,
and
come
down:
touch
the
mountains,
and
they
shall
smoke.
6
Cast
forth
lightning,
and
scatter
them:
shoot
out
thine
arrows,
and
destroy
them.
7
Send
thine
hand
from
above;
rid
me,
and
deliver
me
out
of
great
waters,
from
the
hand
of
strange
children;
8
Whose
mouth
speaketh
vanity,
and
their
right
hand
[is]
a
right
hand
of
falsehood.
9
I
will
sing
a
new
song
unto
thee,
O
God:
upon
a
psaltery
[and]
an
instrument
of
ten
strings
will
I
sing
praises
unto
thee.
10
[It
is
he]
that
giveth
salvation
unto
kings:
who
delivereth
David
his
servant
from
the
hurtful
sword.
11
Rid
me,
and
deliver
me
from
the
hand
of
strange
children,
whose
mouth
speaketh
vanity,
and
their
right
hand
[is]
a
right
hand
of
falsehood:
12
That
our
sons
[may
be]
as
plants
grown
up
in
their
youth;
[that]
our
daughters
[may
be]
as
corner
stones,
polished
[after]
the
similitude
of
a
palace:
13
[That]
our
garners
[may
be]
full,
affording
all
manner
of
store:
[that]
our
sheep
may
bring
forth
thousands
and
ten
thousands
in
our
streets:
14
[That]
our
oxen
[may
be]
strong
to
labour;
[that
there
be]
no
breaking
in,
nor
going
out;
that
[there
be]
no
complaining
in
our
streets.
15
Happy
[is
that]
people,
that
is
in
such
a
case:
[yea],
happy
[is
that]
people,
whose
God
[is]
the
LORD.
