Blessed Be Yahweh, My Rock
Of David.
Blessed be Yahweh, amy rock,
Who btrains my hands for war,
My fingers for battle;
2 My lovingkindness and amy fortress,
My bstronghold and my deliverer,
My cshield and He in whom I take refuge,
Who dsubdues my people under me.
3 O Yahweh, awhat is man, that You know him?
Or the son of man, that You think of him?
4 aMan is like a breath;
His bdays are like a passing shadow.
5 O Yahweh, abow Your heavens, and bcome down;
cTouch the mountains, that they may smoke.
6 Flash forth alightning and scatter them;
Send out Your barrows and confuse them.
7 Send forth Your hand afrom on high;
Set me free and bdeliver me out of many waters,
Out of the hand of cforeigners
8 Whose mouth aspeaks worthlessness,
And whose bright hand is a right hand of lying.
9 O God, I will sing a anew song to You;
Upon a bharp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
10 Who agives salvation to kings,
Who bsets David His servant free from the evil sword.
11 Set me free and deliver me out of the hand of the sons of a aforeigner,
Whose mouth bspeaks worthlessness
And whose cright hand is a right hand of lying.
12 That our sons would be as agrown‑up plants in their youth,
And our daughters as bcorner pillars fashioned as for a palace;
13 That our agranaries would be full, furnishing every kind of produce,
And our flocks would bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields outside;
14 That our acattle would bear
Without bmishap and without closs,
And without doutcry in our streets!
15 How blessed are the people for whom this is so;
How ablessed are the people for whom God is Yahweh!
