CHAPTER 144

1
Of David.
Blessed
be the LORD,
my rock,
who trains
my hands
for war,
my fingers
for battle.
2
He is my loving devotion
and my fortress,
my stronghold
and my deliverer.
He is my shield,
in whom I take refuge,
who subdues
peoples
under me.
3
O LORD,
what
is man,
that You regard him,
the son of man
that
You think of him?
4
Man
is like
a breath;
his days
are like a passing
shadow.
5
Part
Your heavens,
O LORD,
and come down;
touch
the mountains,
that they may smoke.
6
Flash forth
Your lightning
and scatter them;
shoot
Your arrows
and rout them.
7
Reach down
from on high;
rescue me
and deliver me
from deep
waters,
from the grasp
of foreigners,
8
whose
mouths
speak
falsehood,
whose right hands
are deceitful.
9
I will sing
to You
a new
song,
O God;
on a harp
of ten strings
I will make music
to You,
10
to the One who gives
victory
to kings,
who frees
His servant
David
from the deadly
sword.
11
Set me free
and rescue me
from the grasp
of foreigners,
whose
mouths
speak
falsehood,
whose right hands
are deceitful.
12
Then
our sons
will be like plants
nurtured
in their youth,
our daughters
like corner pillars
carved
to adorn
a palace.
13
Our storehouses
will be full,
supplying
all manner of
produce;
our flocks
will bring forth thousands,
tens of thousands
in our fields.
14
Our oxen
will bear great loads.
There will be no
breach in the walls,
no
going into captivity,
and no
cry of lament
in our streets.
15
Blessed
are the people
of whom this is so;
blessed
are the people
whose God
is the LORD.
