Psalms Chapter[BR] 144

1 By David. Blessed *is Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.

2 My kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my people under me!

3 Jehovah, what *is man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?

Psalms Chapter[BR] 144

4 Man to vanity hath been like, His days *are as a shadow passing by.

5 Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.

6 Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them,

7 Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,

Psalms Chapter[BR] 144

8 Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand *is a right hand of falsehood.

9 O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee.

10 Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 144

11 Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand *is a right hand of falsehood,

12 Because our sons *are as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished -- the likeness of a palace,

Psalms Chapter[BR] 144

13 Our garners *are full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places,

14 Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.

15 O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the happiness of the people whose God *is Jehovah!
