Verse BSB Berean Standard Bible KJV King James Version
Of David. Blessed be the LORD , my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
He is my steadfast love and my fortress , my stronghold and my deliverer . He is my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
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.
O LORD, what is man, that You regard him , the son of man that You think of him ?
LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him ! or the son of man , that thou makest account of him !
Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away .
Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down ; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down : touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
Flash forth Your lightning and scatter them ; shoot Your arrows and rout them.
Cast forth lightning , and scatter them : shoot out thine arrows , and destroy them.
Reach down from on high ; set me free and rescue me from the deep waters, from the grasp of foreigners,
Send thine hand from above ; rid me , and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
whose mouths speak falsehood , whose right hands are deceitful .
Whose mouth speaketh vanity , and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood .
I will sing to You a new song, O God ; on a harp of ten strings I will make music to You—
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.
to Him who gives victory to kings , who frees His servant David from the deadly sword.
It is he that giveth salvation unto kings : who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
Set me free and rescue me from the grasp of foreigners , whose mouths speak falsehood , whose right hands are deceitful.
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:
Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth , our daughters like corner pillars carved to adorn a palace .
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 :
Our storehouses will be full, supplying all manner of produce; our flocks will bring forth thousands , tens of thousands in our fields.
That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
Our oxen will bear great loads. There will be no breach in the walls , no going into captivity, and no cry of lament in our streets.
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.
Blessed are the people of whom this is so; blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.
Happy is that people , that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people , whose God is the LORD.
