< Psalms 144 >

1 Of David - [be] blessed Yahweh - rock my who trains hands my for war fingers my for battle.
Of David. Blest be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for fighting.
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 rock and my fortress, my tower, my deliverer, my shield, behind whom I take refuge, who lays nations low at my feet.
3 O Yahweh what? [is] humankind and you have considered him a child of humankind and you have regarded him.
Lord, what are mortals that you care for them, humans, that you think of them?
4 Humankind to breath he is like days his [are] like a shadow passing.
They are like a breath, their days as a shadow that passes.
5 O Yahweh bend down heavens your so you may come down touch the mountains so they may smoke.
Lord, bow your heavens and come down: touch the hills, so that they smoke.
6 Flash lightning and you will scatter them send arrows your and you will rout them.
Flash forth lightning and scatter them, your arrows send forth and confound 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.
Stretch out your hand from on high; pluck me out of the mighty waters, out of the hands of foreigners,
8 Who mouth their it speaks falsehood and right [hand] their [is] a right [hand] of deception.
who speak with the mouth of falsehood, and lift their right hand to swear lies.
9 O God a song new I will sing to you with a lyre of ten I will make music to you.
O God, a new song I would sing you, on a ten-stringed harp make you music.
10 Who gives deliverance to kings who sets free David servant his from a sword evil.
For to kings you give the victory, and David your servant you save.
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.
Snatch me from the cruel sword, rescue me from the hand of foreigners, who speak with the mouth of falsehood, and lift their right hand to swear lies.
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.
May our sons in their youth be as plants well tended: our daughters like cornices carved as in palaces.
13 Granaries our [will be] full providing from kind to kind flocks our [will be] producing thousands producing ten thousands in open places our.
May our barns be bursting with produce of all kinds. In the fields may our sheep bear by thousands and ten thousands.
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.
May our cattle be fat, our walls unbreached, may no cry of distress ring in our streets.
15 How blessed! [is] the people that thus for it how blessed! [is] the people that Yahweh [is] God its.
Happy the people who fares so well: and so fares the people whose God is the Lord.
