Psalms 144
1 Of David - [be] blessed Yahweh - rock my who trains hands my for war fingers my for battle.
Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.
2 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.
My mercy, and my refuge: my support, and my deliverer: My protector, and I have hoped in him: who subdueth my people under me.
3 O Yahweh what? [is] humankind and you have considered him a child of humankind and you have regarded him.
Lord, what is man, that thou art made known to him? or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
4 Humankind to breath he is like days his [are] like a shadow passing.
Man is like to vanity: his days pass away like a shadow.
5 O Yahweh bend down heavens your so you may come down touch the mountains so they may smoke.
Lord, bow down thy heavens and descend: touch the mountains and they shall smoke.
6 Flash lightning and you will scatter them send arrows your and you will rout them.
Send forth lightning, and thou shalt scatter them: shoot out thy arrows, and thou shalt trouble them.
7 Stretch out hands your from a high place set free me and deliver me from waters many from [the] hand of sons of foreignness.
Put forth thy hand from on high, take me out, and deliver me from many waters: from the hand of strange children:
8 Who mouth their it speaks falsehood and right [hand] their [is] a right [hand] of deception.
Whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.
9 O God a song new I will sing to you with a lyre of ten I will make music to you.
To thee, O God, I will sing a new canticle: on the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises to thee.
10 Who gives deliverance to kings who sets free David servant his from a sword evil.
Who givest salvation to kings: who hast redeemed thy servant David from the malicious sword:
11 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.
Deliver me, And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity:
12 Who sons our - [will be] like plants full grown in youth their daughters our [will be] like corners carved [the] structure of a palace.
Whose sons are as new plants in their youth: Their daughters decked out, adorned round about after the similitude of a temple:
13 Granaries our [will be] full providing from kind to kind flocks our [will be] producing thousands producing ten thousands in open places our.
Their storehouses full, flowing out of this into that. Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings forth:
14 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.
Their oxen fat. There is no breach of wall, nor passage, nor crying out in their streets.
15 How blessed! [is] the people that thus for it how blessed! [is] the people that Yahweh [is] God its.
They have called the people happy, that hath these things: but happy is that people whose God is the Lord.
