| 1 | Blessed {be} the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, {and} my fingers to fight: |
| 2 | 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. |
| 3 | Lord, what {is} man, that thou takest knowledge of him! {or} the son of man, that thou makest account of him! |
| 4 | Man is like to vanity: his days {are} as a shadow that passeth away. |
| 5 | Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. |
| 6 | Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. |
| 7 | Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; |
| 8 | Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand {is} a right hand of falsehood. |
| 9 | 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. |
| 10 | {It is he} that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. |
| 11 | 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: |
| 12 | 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: |
| 13 | {That} our garners {may be} full, affording all manner of store: {that} our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: |
| 14 | {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. |
| 15 | Happy {is that} people, that is in such a case: {yea}, happy {is that} people, whose God {is} the Lord. |
