| Psa. 144:1 |
Blessed be Jehovah my rock, / Who teaches my hands for war / [And] my fingers for battle: |
| Psa. 144:2 |
My [Lord of] lovingkindness and my fortress, / My high retreat and my Deliverer, / My shield and He in whom I take refuge, / Who subdues my people under me. |
| Psa. 144:3 |
O Jehovah, what is man, that You take knowledge of him, / [And] the son of mortal man, that You think of him? |
| Psa. 144:4 |
Man is like a breath; / His days are like a passing shadow. |
| Psa. 144:5 |
O Jehovah, bow Your heavens down and descend; / Touch the mountains, and they will smoke. |
| Psa. 144:6 |
Flash forth lightning, and scatter them; / Send forth Your arrows, and discomfit them. |
| Psa. 144:7 |
Stretch forth Your hand from on high; / Rescue me and deliver me / From the great waters, / From the hand of foreigners; |
| Psa. 144:8 |
Whose mouth speaks deceit, / And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. |
| Psa. 144:9 |
O God, I will sing a new song to You; / Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing psalms to You, |
| Psa. 144:10 |
Who gives salvation to kings, / Who rescues David His servant from the hurtful sword. |
| Psa. 144:11 |
Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, / Whose mouth speaks deceit, / And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. |
| Psa. 144:12 |
May our sons be like plants / Grown up in their youth; / May our daughters be like corner pillars / Hewn out in fashion for a palace; |
| Psa. 144:13 |
May our barns be full, / Furnishing produce of all kinds; / May our sheep bring forth thousands / And ten thousands in our fields; |
| Psa. 144:14 |
May our oxen be fully laden; / May there be no breaking in [to rob] or going forth [to fight,] / Or outcry in our streets. |
| Psa. 144:15 |
Blessed are the people who are so; / Blessed are the people whose God is Jehovah. |
