5 Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
touch the mountains so that they smoke.(A)
6 Make the lightning flash and scatter them;
send out your arrows and rout them.(B)
7 Stretch out your hand from on high;
set me free and rescue me from the mighty waters,
from the hand of foreigners,(C)
8 whose mouths speak lies
and whose right hands are false.(D)

upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,(E)

who rescues his servant David.(F)

and deliver me from the hand of aliens,
whose mouths speak lies,
and whose right hands are false.(G)
12 May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars,
cut for the building of a palace.(H)
13 May our barns be filled
with produce of every kind;
may our sheep increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields,
14 and may our cattle be heavy with young.
May there be no breach in the walls,[a] no exile,
and no cry of distress in our streets.
15 Happy are the people to whom such blessings fall;
happy are the people whose God is the Lord.(I)
