(A)Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down!
    (B)Touch the mountains so that they smoke!
(C)Flash forth the lightning and scatter them;
    (D)send out your arrows and rout them!
(E)Stretch out your hand from on high;
    (F)rescue me and deliver me from the many waters,
    from the hand (G)of foreigners,
whose mouths speak (H)lies
    and whose right hand is (I)a right hand of falsehood.

I will sing (J)a new song to you, O God;
    upon (K)a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,
10 who gives victory to kings,
    who (L)rescues David his servant from the cruel sword.
11 Rescue me and deliver me
    from the hand (M)of foreigners,
whose mouths speak (N)lies
    and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 May our sons in their youth
    be like (O)plants full grown,
our daughters like (P)corner pillars
    cut for the structure of a palace;
13 (Q)may our granaries be full,
    (R)providing all kinds of produce;
may our sheep bring forth thousands
    and ten thousands in our fields;
14 may our cattle be heavy with young,
    suffering no mishap or failure in bearing;[a]
may there be no (S)cry of distress in our streets!
15 (T)Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall!
    (U)Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
