Psalms 144

A Psalm of David.

1BlessedH1288 be YhwhH3068 my strengthH6697, which teachethH3925 my handsH3027 to warH7128, and my fingersH676 to fightH4421:12

2My goodnessH2617, and my fortressH4686; my high towerH4869, and my delivererH6403; my shieldH4043, and he in whom I trustH2620; who subduethH7286 my peopleH5971 under me.3

3YhwhH3068, what is manH120, that thou takest knowledgeH3045 of him! or the sonH1121 of manH582, that thou makest accountH2803 of him!

4ManH120 is likeH1819 to vanityH1892: his daysH3117 are as a shadowH6738 that passeth awayH5674.

5BowH5186 thy heavensH8064, O YhwhH3068, and come downH3381: touchH5060 the mountainsH2022, and they shall smokeH6225.

6Cast forthH1299 lightningH1300, and scatterH6327 them: shoot outH7971 thine arrowsH2671, and destroyH2000 them.

7SendH7971 thine handH3027 from aboveH4791; ridH6475 me, and deliverH5337 me out of greatH7227 watersH4325, from the handH3027 of strangeH5236 childrenH1121;4

8Whose mouthH6310 speakethH1696 vanityH7723, and their right handH3225 is a right handH3225 of falsehoodH8267.

9I will singH7891 a newH2319 songH7892 unto thee, O GodH430: upon a psalteryH5035 and an instrument of ten stringsH6218 will I sing praisesH2167 unto thee.

10It is he that givethH5414 salvationH8668 unto kingsH4428: who deliverethH6475 DavidH1732 his servantH5650 from the hurtfulH7451 swordH2719.5

11RidH6475 me, and deliverH5337 me from the handH3027 of strangeH5236 childrenH1121, whose mouthH6310 speakethH1696 vanityH7723, and their right handH3225 is a right handH3225 of falsehoodH8267:

12That our sonsH1121 may be as plantsH5195 grown upH1431 in their youthH5271; that our daughtersH1323 may be as corner stonesH2106, polishedH2404 after the similitudeH8403 of a palaceH1964:6

13That our garnersH4200 may be fullH4392, affordingH6329 all manner of storeH2177: that our sheepH6629 may bring forth thousandsH503 and ten thousandsH7231 in our streetsH2351:7

14That our oxenH441 may be strong to labourH5445; that there be no breaking inH6556, nor going outH3318; that there be no complainingH6682 in our streetsH7339.8

15HappyH835 is that peopleH5971, that is in such a caseH3602: yea, happyH835 is that peopleH5971, whose GodH430 is YhwhH3068.
