Psalms 144
1 [A Psalm off] David. Blessed be the LORD my rock, which teacheth my hands to war, [and] my fingers to fight:
David adversus Goliad benedictus Dominus Deus meus qui docet manus meas ad proelium digitos meos ad bellum
2 My lovingkindness, and my fortress, my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
misericordia mea et refugium meum susceptor meus et liberator meus protector meus et in eo speravi qui subdis populum meum sub me
3 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
Domine quid est homo quia innotuisti ei aut filius hominis quia reputas eum
4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
homo vanitati similis factus est dies eius sicut umbra praetereunt
5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
Domine inclina caelos tuos et descende tange montes et fumigabunt
6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.
fulgora coruscationem et dissipabis eos emitte sagittas tuas et conturbabis eos
7 Stretch forth thine hand from above; rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hand of strangers;
emitte manum tuam de alto eripe me et libera me de aquis multis de manu filiorum alienorum
8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
quorum os locutum est vanitatem et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis
9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
Deus canticum novum cantabo tibi in psalterio decacordo psallam tibi
10 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
qui das salutem regibus qui redimit David servum suum de gladio maligno
11 Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of strangers, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
eripe me et eripe me de manu filiorum alienigenarum quorum os locutum est vanitatem et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis
12 When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth; and our daughters as corner stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;
quorum filii sicut novella plantationis in iuventute sua filiae eorum conpositae circumornatae ut similitudo templi
13 [When] our garners are full, affording all manner of store; [and] our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
promptuaria eorum plena eructantia ex hoc in illud oves eorum fetosae abundantes in egressibus suis
14 [When] our oxen are well laden; [when there is] no breaking in, and no going forth, and no outcry in our streets;
boves eorum crassi non est ruina maceriae neque transitus neque clamor in plateis eorum
15 Happy is the people, that is in such a case: [yea], happy is the people, whose God is the LORD.
beatum dixerunt populum cui haec sunt beatus populus cuius Dominus Deus eius
