Psm144:1 [A Psalm of David]. Blessed be the LORD, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, [And] my fingers for battle;
Psm144:2 My lovingkindness and my fortress, My stronghold and my deliverer; My shield and He in whom I take refuge; Who subdues my people under me.
Psm144:3 O LORD, what is man, that Thou dost take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that Thou dost think of him?
Psm144:4 Man is like a mere breath; His days are like a passing shadow.
Psm144:5 Bow Thy heavens, O LORD, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
Psm144:6 Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Send out Thine arrows and confuse them.
Psm144:7 Stretch forth Thy hand from on high; Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens
Psm144:8 Whose mouths speak deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
Psm144:9 I will sing a new song to Thee, O God; Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to Thee,
Psm144:10 Who dost give salvation to kings; Who dost rescue David His servant from the evil sword.
Psm144:11 Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaks deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
Psm144:12 Let our sons in their youth be as grown-up plants, And our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace;
Psm144:13 [Let] our garners be full, furnishing every kind of produce, [And] our flocks bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
Psm144:14 [Let] our cattle bear, Without mishap and without loss, [Let there be] no outcry in our streets!
Psm144:15 How blessed are the people who are so situated; How blessed are the people whose God is the LORD!
