Psalm 144

[A Psalm] of David.

1 Blessed be Jehovah my rock,
Who teacheth 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 subdueth my people under me.
3 Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him?
Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
4 Man is like to vanity:
His days are as a shadow that passeth away.
5 Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down:
Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them;
Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.
7 Stretch forth thy hand from above;
Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters,
Out of the hand of aliens;
8 Whose mouth speaketh deceit,
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God:
Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10 Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings;
Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11 Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens,
Whose mouth speaketh 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 Jehovah.
