3O LORD, what is man that you care for him,
the son of man that you think of him?

4Man is like a breath;
his days are like a fleeting shadow.

5Part your heavens, O LORD, and come down;
touch the mountains, so that they smoke.

6Send forth lightning and scatter {the enemies};
shoot your arrows and rout them.

7Reach down your hand from on high;
deliver me and rescue me
from the mighty waters,
from the hands of foreigners

8whose mouths are full of lies,
whose right hands are deceitful.

9I will sing a new song to you, O God;
on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,

10to the One who gives victory to kings,
who delivers his servant David from the deadly sword.

11Deliver me and rescue me
from the hands of foreigners
whose mouths are full of lies,
whose right hands are deceitful.

12Then our sons in their youth
will be like well-nurtured plants,
and our daughters will be like pillars
carved to adorn a palace.

13Our barns will be filled
with every kind of provision.
Our sheep will increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields;

14our oxen will draw heavy loads.Or our chieftains will be firmly established
There will be no breaching of walls,
no going into captivity,
no cry of distress in our streets.

15Blessed are the people of whom this is true;
blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.
