Psalms 144

¹A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD, my Rock and my great strength, Who trains my hands for war And my fingers for battle;

²My [steadfast] lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my rescuer, My shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me.

³LORD, what is man that You take notice of him? Or the son of man that You think of him?

⁴Man is like a mere breath; His days are like a shadow that passes away.

⁵Bow Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

⁶Flash lightning and scatter my enemies; Send out Your arrows and confuse and embarrass and frustrate them.

⁷Stretch out Your hand from above; Set me free and rescue me from great waters, Out of the hands of [hostile] foreigners [who surround us]

⁸Whose mouths speak deceit [without restraint], And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

⁹I will sing a new song to You, O God; Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,

¹⁰Who gives salvation to kings, Who sets David His servant free from the evil sword.

¹¹Set me free and rescue me from the hand of [hostile] foreigners, Whose mouth speaks deceit [without restraint], And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

¹²Let our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace;

¹³Let our barns be full, supplying every kind of produce, And our flocks bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

¹⁴Let our cattle bear Without mishap and without loss, And let there be no outcry in our streets!

¹⁵How blessed and favored are the people in such circumstance; How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored] are the people whose God is the LORD!
