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.
