B<\/span>lessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:<\/span><\/p>\n 2<\/sup>My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>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:<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>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:<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>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.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.<\/span> <\/p>\n
