God, I will sing a new song to You;
I will play on a ten-stringed harp for You —
10
the One who gives victory to kings,
who frees His servant David
from the deadly sword.
11
Set me free and rescue me
from the grasp of foreigners
whose mouths speak lies,
whose right hands are deceptive.

Then our sons will be like plants
nurtured in their youth,
our daughters, like corner pillars
that are carved in the palace style.
13
Our storehouses will be full,
supplying all kinds of produce;
our flocks will increase by thousands
and tens of thousands in our open fields.
14
Our cattle will be well fed.
There will be no breach in the walls,
no going into captivity,
and no cry of lament in our public squares.
15
Happy are the people with such blessings.
Happy are the people whose God is
