Blessed be the LORD, ^(C1)my rock, Who ^(C2)trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle;

My faithfulness and ^(C1)my fortress, My ^(C2)stronghold and my savior, My ^(C3)shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who ^(C4)subdues ^(F1)my people under me.

LORD, ^(C1)what is man, that You look after him? Or a son of man, that You think of him?

^(C1)Man is like the breath; His ^(C2)days are like a passing shadow.

^(C1)Bend down Your heavens, LORD, and ^(C2)come down; ^(C3)Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

Flash forth ^(C1)lightning and scatter them; Send out Your ^(C2)arrows and confuse them.

Reach out with Your hand ^(C1)from on high; Rescue me and ^(C2)save me from great waters, From the hand of ^(C3)foreigners

Whose mouth ^(C1)speaks deceit, And whose ^(C2)right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

God, I will sing a ^(C1)new song to You; On a ^(C2)harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,

Who ^(C1)gives salvation to kings, Who ^(C2)rescues His servant David from the evil sword.

Rescue me and save me from the hand of ^(C1)foreigners, Whose mouth ^(C2)speaks deceit And whose ^(C3)right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

When our sons in their youth are like ^(C1)growing plants, And our daughters like ^(C2)corner pillars ^(F1)fashioned for a palace,

Our ^(C1)granaries are full, providing every kind of produce, And our flocks deliver thousands and ten thousands in our ^(F1)fields;

May our ^(C1)cattle ^(F1)be bred Without ^(F2)(C2)mishap and without ^(F3)(C3)loss, May there be no ^(C4)outcry in our streets!

Blessed are the people who are so situated; ^(C1)Blessed are the people whose God is the LORD!
