3 Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him, the son of man, that thou takest thought of him?

3 LORD, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?

4 Man is like to vanity; his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

4 They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow.

5 Jehovah, bow thy heavens, and come down; touch the mountains, that they smoke;

5 Part your heavens, LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke.

6 Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them.

7 Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners

9 O God, I will sing a new song unto thee; with the ten-stringed lute will I sing psalms unto thee:

9 I will sing a new song to you, my God; on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,

10 Who givest salvation unto kings; who rescuest David thy servant from the hurtful sword.

10 to the One who gives victory to kings, who delivers his servant David. From the deadly sword

11 Rescue me, and deliver me from the hand of aliens, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; our daughters as corner-columns, sculptured after the fashion of a palace:

12 Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace.

13 Our granaries full, affording all manner of store; our sheep bringing forth thousands, ten thousands in our pastures;

13 Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision. Our sheep will increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields;

14 Our kine laden [with young]; no breaking in and no going forth, and no outcry in our streets.

14 our oxen will draw heavy loads.There will be no breaching of walls, no going into captivity, no cry of distress in our streets.

15 Blessed the people that is in such a case! Blessed the people whose God is Jehovah!

15 Blessed is the people of whom this is true; blessed is the people whose God is the LORD.
