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 mindful of 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 shall 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 whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
- 9 I will sing a new song to You, O God; on a stringed instument and instrumnet 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 whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
- 12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; That our daughters may be as pillars, Sculptured in palace style;
- 13 That our barns may be full, Supplying all kinds of produce; That our sheep may bring forth thousands And ten thousands in our fields;
- 14 That our oxen may be well laden; That there be no breaking in or going out; That there be no outcry in our streets.
- 15 Happy are the people who are in such a state; Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!
