9 I will sing you a new song, O God;I will play the harp and sing to you.
10 You give victory to kingsand rescue your servant David.
11 Save me from my cruel enemies;rescue me from the power of foreigners,who never tell the truthand lie even under oath.
12 May our sons in their youthbe like plants that grow up strong.May our daughters be like stately pillarswhich adorn the corners of a palace.
13 May our barns be filledwith crops of every kind.May the sheep in our fieldsbear young by the tens of thousands.
14 May our cattle reproduce plentifullywithout miscarriage or loss.May there be no cries of distress in our streets.
15 Happy is the nation of whom this is true;happy are the people whose God is the Lord!
