3 LORD, what is man that thou knowest him? or the son of man, that thou esteemeth him?

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

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

5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

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

6 Cast forth lightning and scatter them; shoot out thine arrows and destroy them.

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

8 whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful.

9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God; upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises 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 Thou, he who gives salvation unto kings, who redeems David his slave from the evil sword.

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

11 Redeem me, and save me from the hand of strange sons, whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:

11 deliver me; rescue me from the hands of foreigners whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful.

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;

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 that our garners may be full, affording all manner of store; that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets;

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 that our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in nor going out; that there be no shout of alarm 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 is that people, that is in such a case; yea, blessed is that people, whose God is the LORD.

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