God, I will sing a (A)new song to You;
On a (B)harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
10 Who (C)gives salvation to kings,
Who (D)rescues His servant David from the evil sword.
11 Rescue me and save me from the hand of (E)foreigners,
Whose mouth (F)speaks deceit
And whose (G)right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 When our sons in their youth are like (H)growing plants,
And our daughters like (I)corner pillars [a]fashioned for a palace,
13 Our (J)granaries are full, providing every kind of produce,
And our flocks deliver thousands and ten thousands in our [b]fields;
14 May our (K)cattle [c]be bred
Without [d](L)mishap and without [e](M)loss,
May there be no (N)outcry in our streets!
15 Blessed are the people who are so situated;
(O)Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
