תהילים 144

1 לְדָוִד ׀ בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה ׀ צוּרִי הַֽמְלַמֵּד יָדַי לַקְרָב אֶצְבְּעוֹתַי לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃

A psalm of David. Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

2 חַסְדִּי וּמְצוּדָתִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי וּֽמְפַלְטִי ־ לִי מָגִנִּי וּבוֹ חָסִיתִי הָרוֹדֵד עַמִּי תַחְתָּֽי׃

You are my covenant faithfulness and my fortress, my high tower and the one who rescues me, my shield and the one in whom I take refuge, the one who subdues nations under me.

3 יְֽהֹוָה מָֽה־אָדָם וַתֵּדָעֵהוּ בֶּן־אֱנוֹשׁ וַתְּחַשְּׁבֵֽהוּ׃

Yahweh, what is man that you take notice of him or the son of man that you think about him?

4 אָדָם לַהֶבֶל דָּמָה יָמָיו כְּצֵל עוֹבֵֽר׃

Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

5 יְהֹוָה הַט־שָׁמֶיךָ וְתֵרֵד גַּע בֶּהָרִים וְֽיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃

Cause the sky to sink and come down, Yahweh; touch the mountains and make them smoke.

6 בְּרוֹק בָּרָק וּתְפִיצֵם שְׁלַח חִצֶּיךָ וּתְהֻמֵּֽם׃

Send flashes of lightning and scatter my enemies; shoot your arrows and drive them back in confusion.

7 שְׁלַח יָדֶיךָ מִמָּרוֹם פְּצֵנִי וְהַצִּילֵנִי מִמַּיִם רַבִּים מִיַּד בְּנֵי נֵכָֽר׃

Reach out your hand from above; rescue me out of many waters, from the hand of foreigners.

8 אֲשֶׁר פִּיהֶם דִּבֶּר־שָׁוְא וִימִינָם יְמִין שָֽׁקֶר׃

Their mouths speak lies, and their right hand is falsehood.

9 אֱֽלֹהִים שִׁיר חָדָשׁ אָשִׁירָה לָּךְ בְּנֵבֶל עָשׂוֹר אֲזַמְּרָה־לָּֽךְ׃

I will sing a new song to you, God; on a lute of ten strings I will sing praises to you,

10 הַנּוֹתֵן תְּשׁוּעָה לַמְּלָכִים הַפּוֹצֶה אֶת־דָּוִד עַבְדּוֹ מֵחֶרֶב רָעָֽה׃

who give salvation to kings, who rescued David your servant from an evil sword.

11 פְּצֵנִי וְהַצִּילֵנִי מִיַּד בְּֽנֵי־נֵכָר אֲשֶׁר פִּיהֶם דִּבֶּר־שָׁוְא וִימִינָם יְמִין שָֽׁקֶר׃

Rescue me and free me from the hand of foreigners. Their mouths speak lies, and their right hand is falsehood.

12 אֲשֶׁר בָּנֵינוּ ׀ כִּנְטִעִים מְגֻדָּלִים בִּֽנְעוּרֵיהֶם בְּנוֹתֵינוּ כְזָוִיֹּת מְחֻטָּבוֹת תַּבְנִית הֵיכָֽל׃

May our sons be like plants who grow to full size in their youth and our daughters like carved corner pillars, shapely like those of a palace.

13 מְזָוֵינוּ מְלֵאִים מְפִיקִים מִזַּן אֶל ־ זַן צֹאונֵנוּ מַאֲלִיפוֹת מְרֻבָּבוֹת בְּחוּצוֹתֵֽינוּ׃

May our storehouses be full with every kind of produce, and may our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields.

14 אַלּוּפֵינוּ מְֽסֻבָּלִים אֵֽין־פֶּרֶץ וְאֵין יוֹצֵאת וְאֵין צְוָחָה בִּרְחֹבֹתֵֽינוּ׃

Then our oxen will have many young. No one will break through our walls; there will be no exile and no outcry in our streets.

15 אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם שֶׁכָּכָה לּוֹ אַֽשְׁרֵי הָעָם שֱׁיְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃

Blessed is the people with such blessings; happy is the people whose God is Yahweh.
