Psalm 144 (TRV)
From Textus Receptus
- 0 A Psalm of David.
- 1 Blessed be the LORD my strength, who trains my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
- 2 My goodness and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and Him in whom I trust, who subdues my people under me.
- 3 LORD, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are acknowledge him?
- 4 Man is likened to vanity; his days are like a shaddow that passes away.
- 5 Bow down Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
- 6 Throw forth lightning and scatter them; shoot out Your arrows and destroy them.
- 7 Send Your hand from above; rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of the children of foreigners,
- 8 Whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
- 9 I will sing a new song to You, O God; on a stringed instument and instrument of ten strings I will sing praises to You.
- 10 It is He who gives salvation to kings, who delivers David His servant from the harmful sword.
- 11 Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of the children of foreigners, whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
- 12 That our sons may be like plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished "in" the likeness of a palace;
- 13 that our barns may be full, supplying all manner of produce; that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets;
- 14 that our oxen may be strong; that there be no breaking in or going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
- 15 Happy are those people who are in such a condition; yes happy are those people whose God is the LORD!
