Ps 144
0 Psalm 144 [A Psalm] of David.
1
Blessed be YHWH my rock, Who teaches my hands to war, [And] my fingers to fight:
2
My lovingkindness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and
he in whom I take refuge; Who subdues my people under me.
3
YHWH, what is man, that you take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that you make
account of him?
4
Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passes away.
5
Bow your heavens, O YHWH, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6
Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out your arrows, and discomfit them.
7
Stretch forth your hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters,
Out of the hand of aliens;
8
Whose mouth speaks deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9
I will sing a new song to you, O God: Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises
to you.
10
You are he who gives salvation to kings; Who rescues David his servant from the hurtful
sword.
11
Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaks deceit, And
whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12
When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters
as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;
13
[When] our garners are full, affording all manner of store, [And] our sheep
bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
14
[When] our oxen are well laden; [When there is] no breaking in, and no going forth,
And no outcry in our streets:
15
Happy is the people that is in such a case; [Yea], happy is the people whose God is
YHWH.
