Psalms

Of David.

Blessed Be the LORD, My Rock

1Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, [And] my fingers to fight:+ 2My lovingkindness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and he in whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me.+ 3Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?+ 4Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.+ 5Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.+ 6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.+ 7Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens;+ 8Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.+ 9I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.+ 10Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.+ 11Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.+ 12When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;+ 13[When] our garners are full, affording all manner of store, [And] our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;+ 14[When] our oxen are well laden; [When there is] no breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets:+ 15Happy is the people that is in such a case; [Yea], happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.+
