Introduction

        
This entry meets the strict three-criteria standard of the Theosis Library, with the manuscript text drawn directly from the same source as the scan:
  1. Manuscript scan: The actual folio of Codex Sinaiticus containing this passage, from the Codex Sinaiticus Project (codexsinaiticus.org). Library folio reference: 126.
  2. Original text: The verbatim transcription of the Sinaiticus manuscript from the Codex Sinaiticus Project, preserving uncial forms, lunate sigma, nomina sacra (e.g. ⟨θϲ⟩ = θεός), and scribal marks. Nomina sacra are shown in angle brackets to indicate the manuscript's sacred-name abbreviations.
  3. English translation: The King James Version (1611), retrieved verbatim from the public-domain bible-api.com endpoint.
Numbering: Codex Sinaiticus follows the Septuagint Psalter, in which this is Psalm 143. In the Hebrew and King James numbering the same psalm is Psalm 144. Verse numbers align between the Greek and the KJV in this psalm. The Greek and English in each section are the same words of the same psalm.

1Blessed
be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war,
and my fingers to fight: 2My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and
he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. 3LORD, what
is man, that thou takest knowledge of him!
or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! 4Man is like to vanity: his days
are as a shadow that passeth away. 5Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. 7Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; 8Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand
is a right hand of falsehood. 9I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery
and
 an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. 10It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

11Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand
is a right hand of falsehood: 12That 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: 13That our garners
may be full, affording all manner of store:
that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: 14That our oxen
may be strong to labour;
that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that
there be no complaining in our streets. 15Happy
is that people, that is in such a case:
yea,
 happy
is that people, whose God
is the LORD.
