a generatione in generationem.
Priusquam montes fierent,
aut formaretur terra et orbis,
a s�culo et usque in s�culum tu es, Deus.
Ne avertas hominem in humilitatem:
et dixisti: Convertimini, filii hominum.
Quoniam mille anni ante oculos tuos
tamquam dies hesterna qu� pr�teriit:
et custodia in nocte qu� pro nihilo habentur,
eorum anni erunt.
Mane sicut herba transeat;
mane floreat, et transeat;
vespere decidat, induret, et arescat.
Quia defecimus in ira tua,
et in furore tuo turbati sumus.
Posuisti iniquitates nostras in conspectu tuo;
s�culum nostrum in illuminatione vultus tui.
Quoniam omnes dies nostri defecerunt,
et in ira tua defecimus.
Anni nostri sicut aranea meditabuntur;
dies annorum nostrorum in ipsis septuaginta anni.
Si autem in potentatibus octoginta anni,
et amplius eorum labor et dolor;
quoniam supervenit mansuetudo, et corripiemur.
Quis novit potestatem ir� tu�,
et pr� timore tuo iram tuam dinumerare?
Dexteram tuam sic notam fac,
et eruditos corde in sapientia.
Convertere, Domine; usquequo?
et deprecabilis esto super servos tuos.
Repleti sumus mane misericordia tua;
et exsultavimus, et delectati sumus omnibus diebus nostris.
L�tati sumus pro diebus quibus nos humiliasti;
annis quibus vidimus mala.
Respice in servos tuos et in opera tua,
et dirige filios eorum.
Et sit splendor Domini Dei nostri super nos,
et opera manuum nostrarum dirige super nos,
et opus manuum nostrarum dirige.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For the Lord is our defence,.... From all their enemies, being all around them, as a wall of fire to protect them, and as the mountains were round about Jerusalem, and being kept by his power as in a fortress, strong hold, or garrison, unto salvation; or our shield f; see Psalms 84:9 as are his favour, righteousness, and salvation, Psalms 5:12 or "to the Lord belongs our defence or shield" g our protection and salvation is from him:

and the Holy One of Israel is our King; he who was to be, and is of Israel according to the flesh, and is holy in his nature, life, and office; he is King of saints, that rules over them, protects and defends them, and therefore they must be happy: or "to" or "with the Holy One of Israel is our king" h; Christ is King of Zion by designation, appointment, and constitution, of God the Holy One of Israel, the holy God that has chosen Israel for his peculiar people; though it rather seems that Christ is the Holy One by what follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For the Lord is our defense - Margin, “Our shield is of the Lord.” The original word rendered “defense,” is shield. Compare Psalms 5:12, note; Psalms 33:20, note; Psalms 59:11, note. The meaning is, that protection was to be found in God alone. The true construction of this verse is, “For to Yahweh (belongs) our shield, and to the Holy One of Israel our king.” That is, All that they had, and all that they relied on as a defense, belonged to God, or was of God; in other words, their very protectors were themselves protected by Yahweh. They had no other defense; nothing else on which they could depend.
