Jubilee2000 - Psalms - 144

144:1  <> Blessed [be] the LORD my strength, who trains my hands for the battle [and] my fingers for the war:

144:2  My mercy and my fortress; my high tower and my deliverer; my shield and [he] in whom I trust, who subdues my people under me.

144:3  LORD, what [is] man that thou knowest him? [or] the son of man, that thou esteemest him?

144:4  Man is like unto vanity; his days [are] as a shadow that passes away.

144:5  Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

144:6  Cast forth lightning and scatter them; shoot out thine arrows and destroy them.

144:7  Send thine hand from above; redeem me and deliver me out of many waters, from the hand of the strange sons,

144:8  whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood.

144:9  I will sing a new song unto thee, O God; upon a psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings I will sing [praises] unto thee.

144:10  [Thou], he who gives salvation unto kings, who redeems David his servant from the evil sword.

144:11  Redeem me, and save me from the hand of strange sons, whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood:

144:12  That our sons [may be] as plants grown up in their youth; [that] our daughters [may be] as corner stones, polished [after] the similitude of a palace;

144:13  [that] our garners [may be] full, affording all manner of store; [that] our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets;

144:14  [that] our oxen [may be] strong to labour; [that there be] no breaking in nor going out; that [there be] no shout [of alarm] in our streets.

144:15  Blessed [is that] people, that is in such a case; [yea], blessed [is that] people, whose God [is] the LORD.:
