1 Blest be the LORD my rock, 2My rock and my fortress, 3LORD, what are mortals 4They are like a breath, 5LORD, bow your heavens and come down: 6Flash forth lightning and scatter them, 7Stretch out your hand from on high; 8who speak with the mouth of falsehood, 9O God, a new song I would sing you, 10For to kings you give the victory, 11Snatch me from the cruel sword, 12May our sons in their youth 13May our barns be bursting 14May our cattle be fat, 15Happy the people
