Upon psaltery and harp will I sing praise to thee.

Thou art He that giveth salvation to kings,

That delivereth David, thy servant, from the sword.

Rid me and save me from those who speak vanity,

Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood,—

That our sons may be as plants in fresh youth;

That our daughters may be as corner-stones,—

The polished stones of our palaces;

That our garners may be full with all manner of store;

That our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in the way;
