| 1 A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle; | 1 Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: | 1 [By David.] Thank the LORD, my rock, who trained my hands to fight and my fingers to do battle, | 1 Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to battle: | 1 {A Psalm of David.} Blessed be Jehovah my rock, who teacheth my hands to war, my fingers to fight; | 2 My lovingkindness and my fortress, My stronghold and my deliverer, My shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me. | 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. | 2 my merciful one, my fortress, my stronghold, and my savior, my shield, the one in whom I take refuge, and the one who brings people under my authority. | 2 my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge; who subdues my people under me. | 2 My mercy and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I trust, who subdueth my people under me! | 3 O LORD, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You think of him? | 3 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! | 3 O LORD, what are humans that you should care about them? What are mere mortals that you should think about them? | 3 Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him? | 3 Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him, the son of man, that thou takest thought of him? | 4 Man is like a mere breath; His days are like a passing shadow. | 4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. | 4 Humans are like a breath of air. Their life span is like a fleeting shadow. | 4 Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away. | 4 Man is like to vanity; his days are as a shadow that passeth away. | 5 Bow Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke. | 5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. | 5 O LORD, bend your heaven low, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke. | 5 Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke. | 5 Jehovah, bow thy heavens, and come down; touch the mountains, that they smoke; | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Send out Your arrows and confuse them. | 6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. | 6 Hurl bolts of lightning, and scatter them. Shoot your arrows, and throw them into confusion. | 6 Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them. | 6 Cast forth lightnings, and scatter them; send forth thine arrows, and discomfit them: | 7 Stretch forth Your hand from on high; Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens | 7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; | 7 Stretch out your hands from above.

Their right hands take false pledges. | 8 whose mouths speak deceit, Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. | 8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. | 9 I will sing a new song to You, O God; Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You, | 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. | 9 O God, I will sing a new song to you. I will sing a psalm to you on a ten-stringed harp. | 9 I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you. | 9 O God, I will sing a new song unto thee; with the ten-stringed lute will I sing psalms unto thee: | 10 Who gives salvation to kings, Who rescues David His servant from the evil sword. | 10 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. | 10 You are the one who gives victory to kings. You are the one who snatches your servant David away from a deadly sword. | 10 You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword. | 10 Who givest salvation unto kings; who rescuest David thy servant from the hurtful sword. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 Rescue me and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaks deceit And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. | 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: | 11 Snatch me, and rescue me from foreigners' hands. Their mouths speak lies.

May our sheep give birth to thousands of lambs, tens of thousands in our fields. | 13 Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields. | 13 Our granaries full, affording all manner of store; our sheep bringing forth thousands, ten thousands in our pastures; | 14 Let our cattle bear Without mishap and without loss, Let there be no outcry 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. | 14 May our cattle have many calves. May no one break in, and may no one be dragged out. May there be no cries of distress in our streets. | 14 Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets. | 14 Our kine laden with young; no breaking in and no going forth, and no outcry in our streets. | 15 How blessed are the people who are so situated; How blessed are the people whose God is the LORD! | 15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. | 15 Blessed are the people who have these blessings!
