< Psalms 144 >
1 Of David - [be] blessed Yahweh - rock my who trains hands my for war fingers my for battle.
A Psalme of David. Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth mine hands to fight, and my fingers to battell.
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.
He is my goodnes and my fortresse, my towre and my deliuerer, my shield, and in him I trust, which subdueth my people vnder 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 regardest him! or the sonne of man that thou thinkest vpon him!
4 Humankind to breath he is like days his [are] like a shadow passing.
Man is like to vanitie: his dayes are like a shadow, that vanisheth.
5 O Yahweh bend down heavens your so you may come down touch the mountains so they may smoke.
Bow thine heauens, O Lord, and come downe: touch the mountaines and they shall smoke.
6 Flash lightning and you will scatter them send arrows your and you will rout them.
Cast forth the lightning and scatter them: shoote out thine arrowes, and consume 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.
Send thine hand from aboue: deliuer me, and take me out of the great waters, and from the hand of strangers,
8 Who mouth their it speaks falsehood and right [hand] their [is] a right [hand] of deception.
Whose mouth talketh vanitie, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 O God a song new I will sing to you with a lyre of ten I will make music to you.
I wil sing a new song vnto thee, O God, and sing vnto thee vpon a viole, and an instrument of ten strings.
10 Who gives deliverance to kings who sets free David servant his from a sword evil.
It is he that giueth deliuerance vnto Kings, and rescueth Dauid his seruant from the hurtfull sworde.
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.
Rescue me, and deliuer me from the hand of strangers, whose mouth talketh vanitie, and their right hand is a right hand of falshood:
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.
That our sonnes may be as the plantes growing vp in their youth, and our daughters as the corner stones, grauen after the similitude of a palace:
13 Granaries our [will be] full providing from kind to kind flocks our [will be] producing thousands producing ten thousands in open places our.
That our corners may be full, and abounding with diuers sorts, and that our sheepe may bring forth thousands and ten thousand in our streetes:
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.
That our oxen may be strong to labour: that there be none inuasion, nor going out, nor no crying in our streetes.
15 How blessed! [is] the people that thus for it how blessed! [is] the people that Yahweh [is] God its.
Blessed are the people, that be so, yea, blessed are the people, whose God is the Lord.
