[A Psalm] of David. Blessed [be] the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, [and] my fingers to fight:
Geseënd is die HERE my sterkte, wat my hande leer om te oorlog, en my vingers om te veg:

2
My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and [he] in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
My goedheid, en my vesting; my hoë toring, en my verlosser; my skild, en Hy op wie ek vertrou; wat my volk onder my onderwerp.
3
LORD, what [is] man, that thou takest knowledge of him! [or] the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
HERE, wat is die mens, dat U kennis van hom neem! of die seun van die mens, dat U hom ag!
4
Man is like to vanity: his days [are] as a shadow that passeth away.
Die mens is soos ydelheid: sy dae is soos ‚'n skaduwee wat verbygaan.
5
Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
Buig u hemele, o HERE, en kom af: raak die berge aan, en hulle sal rook.
6
Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
Gooi weerlig uit, en verstrooi hulle: skiet u pyle uit, en vernietig hulle.
7
Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
Stuur u hand van bo af; red my, en verlos my uit groot waters, uit die hand van vreemde kinders;
8
Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood.
Wie se mond ydelheid spreek, en hulle regterhand is ‚'n regterhand van valsheid.
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.
Ek sal ‚'n nuwe lied tot U sing, o God: op ‚'n psalter en ‚'n instrument van tien snare sal ek tot U sing.
10
[It is he] that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
Dit is Hy wat heil aan konings gee: wat sy dienaar Dawid verlos van die skadelike swaard.
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:
Red my, en verlos my uit die hand van vreemde kinders, wie se mond ydelheid spreek, en hulle regterhand is ‚'n regterhand van valsheid:
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:
Dat ons seuns mag wees soos plante wat in hulle jeug grootgeword het; dat ons dogters mag wees soos hoekpilare, gepoleer na die gelykenis van ‚'n paleis:
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:
Dat ons voorraadkamers vol mag wees, en allerhande soorte voorsiening oplewer: dat ons skape mag voortbring duisende en tienduisende in ons strate:
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.
Dat ons osse sterk mag wees tot arbeid; dat daar geen inbraak, of uitgaan, of klagte in ons strate mag wees nie.
15
Happy [is that] people, that is in such a case: [yea], happy [is that] people, whose God [is] the LORD.
Gelukkig is die volk wat in so ‚'n toestand is: ja, gelukkig is die volk wie se God die HERE is.
