# Chapter 144
|
|
1. Blessed be the Lord my Rock,
|
|
Who trains my hands for war,
|
|
And my fingers for battle--
|
|
|
|
2. My lovingkindness and my fortress,
|
|
My high tower and my deliverer,
|
|
My shield and the One in whom I take refuge,
|
|
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 like a breath;
|
|
His days are like a passing shadow.
|
|
|
|
5. Bow down Your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
|
|
Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
|
|
|
|
6. Flash forth lightning and scatter them;
|
|
Shoot out Your arrows and destroy them.
|
|
|
|
7. Stretch out Your hand from above;
|
|
Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters,
|
|
From the hand of foreigners,
|
|
|
|
8. Whose mouth speaks lying words,
|
|
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
|
|
|
|
9. I will sing a new song to You, O God;
|
|
On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
|
|
|
|
10. The One who gives salvation to kings,
|
|
Who delivers David His servant
|
|
From the deadly sword.
|
|
|
|
11. Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners,
|
|
Whose mouth speaks lying words,
|
|
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!
