³ Lord, what is man, that You care for him,
the son of man, that You think of him?^(F)
4 Man is like a breath;
his days are like a passing shadow.^(G)

⁵ Lord, part Your heavens and come down.^(H)
Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.^(I)
6 Flash Your lightning and scatter the foe;^[b]
shoot Your arrows and rout them.^(J)
7 Reach down^[c] from heaven;^(K)
rescue me from deep water, and set me free
from the grasp of foreigners^(L)
8 whose mouths speak lies,
whose right hands are deceptive.^(M)

⁹ God, I will sing a new song to You;
I will play on a ten-stringed harp for You^(N)—
¹⁰ the One who gives victory to kings,
who frees His servant David
from the deadly sword.^(O)
11 Set me free and rescue me
from the grasp of foreigners^(P)
whose mouths speak lies,
whose right hands are deceptive.^(Q)

¹² Then our sons will be like plants
nurtured in their youth,
our daughters, like corner pillars
that are carved in the palace style.^(R)
13 Our storehouses will be full,
supplying all kinds of produce;^(S)
our flocks will increase by thousands
and tens of thousands in our open fields.^(T)
14 Our cattle will be well fed.^[d]
There will be no breach in the walls,
no going into captivity,^[e]
and no cry of lament in our public squares.^(U)
15 Happy are the people with such blessings.
Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh.^(V)
