Praise the LORD, who is my rock. He trains my hands for war and gives my fingers skill for battle. |
2
|
He is my loving ally and my fortress, my tower of safety, my rescuer. He is my shield, and I take refuge in him. He makes the nations submit to me. |
3
|
O LORD, who are we that you should notice us, mere mortals that you should care for us? |
4
|
For we are like a breath of air; our days are like a passing shadow. |
5
|
Open the heavens, LORD, and come down. Touch the mountains so they billow smoke. |
6
|
Hurl your lightning bolts and scatter your enemies! Shoot your arrows and confuse them! |
7
|
Reach down from heaven and rescue me; rescue me from deep waters, from the power of my enemies. |
8
|
Their mouths are full of lies; they swear to tell the truth, but they lie instead. |
9
|
I will sing a new song to you, O God! I will sing your praises with a ten-stringed harp. |
10
|
For you grant victory to kings! You rescued your servant David from the fatal sword. |
11
|
Save me! Rescue me from the power of my enemies. Their mouths are full of lies; they swear to tell the truth, but they lie instead. |
12
|
May our sons flourish in their youth like well-nurtured plants. May our daughters be like graceful pillars, carved to beautify a palace. |
13
|
May our barns be filled with crops of every kind. May the flocks in our fields multiply by the thousands, even tens of thousands, |
14
|
and may our oxen be loaded down with produce. May there be no enemy breaking through our walls, no going into captivity, no cries of alarm in our town squares. |
15
|
Yes, joyful are those who live like this! Joyful indeed are those whose God is the LORD. A psalm of praise of David. |
