MKJV - Psalms - 144

144:1  A Psalm of David. Blessed is the LORD my Rock, who teaches My hands for war, my fingers for battle.

144:2  He is my goodness and my fortress; my high tower and my deliverer; my shield and He in whom I trust; who humbles my people under me.

144:3  O LORD, what is man that You take knowledge of him! Or the son of man, that You esteem him?

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

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

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

144:7  Send Your hand from above; rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of a foreigner's sons;

144:8  because their mouth has spoken vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of lies.

144:9  I will sing a new song to You, O God; on a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You.

144:10  It is You who gives salvation to kings; who delivers David His servant from the hurtful sword.

144:11  Rescue me, and deliver me from the hand of foreigners' sons, because their mouth has spoken vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood;

144:12  so that our sons may be like plants grown up in their youth; and our daughters may be like corner-stones, polished like a palace building;

144:13  and our storehouses may be full, furnishing kind to kind; and our flocks may breed thousands and ten thousands outside;

144:14  and our oxen may be loaded; there is no break in nor going out and no crying in our streets.

144:15  Blessed are the peoples who are so; blessed are the peoples to whom Jehovah is his God.
