< Psalms 144 >
1 [A Psalm] of David concerning Goliad. Blessed [be] the Lord my God, who instructs my hands for battle, [and] my fingers for war.
Of David - [be] blessed Yahweh - rock my who trains hands my for war fingers my for battle.
2 My mercy, and my refuge; my helper, and my deliverer; my protector, in whom I have trusted; who subdues my people under me.
Covenant loyalty my and stronghold my refuge my and deliverer my to me shield my and in him I take refuge the [one who] subdues people my under me.
3 Lord, what is man, that you are made known to him? or the son of man, that you take account of him?
O Yahweh what? [is] humankind and you have considered him a child of humankind and you have regarded him.
4 Man is like to vanity: his days pass as a shadow.
Humankind to breath he is like days his [are] like a shadow passing.
5 O Lord, bow your heavens, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
O Yahweh bend down heavens your so you may come down touch the mountains so they may smoke.
6 Send lightning, and you shall scatter them: send forth your arrows, and you shall discomfit them.
Flash lightning and you will scatter them send arrows your and you will rout them.
7 Send forth your hand from on high; rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hand of strange children;
Stretch out hands your from a high place set free me and deliver me from waters many from [the] hand of sons of foreignness.
8 whose mouth has spoken vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of iniquity.
Who mouth their it speaks falsehood and right [hand] their [is] a right [hand] of deception.
9 O God, I will sing a new song to you: I will play to you on a lute of ten strings.
O God a song new I will sing to you with a lyre of ten I will make music to you.
10 [Even] to him who gives salvation to kings: who redeems his servant David from the hurtful sword.
Who gives deliverance to kings who sets free David servant his from a sword evil.
11 Deliver me, and rescue me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth has spoken vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of iniquity;
Set free me and deliver me from [the] hand of sons of foreignness who mouth their it speaks falsehood and right [hand] their [is] a right [hand] of deception.
12 whose children are as plants, strengthened in their youth: their daughters are beautiful, sumptuously adorned after the similitude of a temple.
Who sons our - [will be] like plants full grown in youth their daughters our [will be] like corners carved [the] structure of a palace.
13 Their garners are full, and bursting with one kind of store after another; their sheep are prolific, multiplying in their streets.
Granaries our [will be] full providing from kind to kind flocks our [will be] producing thousands producing ten thousands in open places our.
14 Their oxen are fat: there is no falling down of a hedge, nor going out, nor cry in their folds.
Cattle[s] our [will be] loaded there not [will be] a breach and there not [will be] abortion and there not [will be] an outcry in open places our.
15 Men bless the people to whom this lot belongs, [but] blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.
How blessed! [is] the people that thus for it how blessed! [is] the people that Yahweh [is] God its.
