1<\/sup>A Psalm of David versus Goliath. Blessed is the Lord, my God, who trains my hands for the battle and my fingers for the war.<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>My mercy and my refuge, my supporter and my deliverer, my protector and him in whom I have hoped: he subdues my people under me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>O Lord, what is man that you have become known to him? Or the son of man that you consider him?<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>Man has been made similar to vanity. His days pass by like a shadow.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>O Lord, incline your heavens and descend. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>Send a flash of lightning, and you will scatter them. Shoot your arrows, and you will set them in disarray.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Send forth your hand from on high: rescue me, and free me from many waters, from the hand of the sons of foreigners.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>Their mouth has been speaking vain things, and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>To you, O God, I will sing a new song. On the psaltery, with an instrument of ten strings, I will sing psalms to you.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>He gives salvation to kings. He has redeemed your servant David from the malignant sword.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>Rescue me, and deliver me from the hand of the sons of foreigners. Their mouth has been speaking vain things, and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>Their sons are like new plantings in their youth. Their daughters are dressed up: adorned all around like the idols of a temple.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>Their cupboards are full: overflowing from one thing into another. Their sheep bear young, brought forth in abundance.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>Their cattle are fat. There is no ruined wall or passage, nor anyone crying out in their streets.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>They have called the people that has these things: blessed. But blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.<\/span> <\/p>\n
