psalms 144

1 - Blessed be The LORD, my rock,who teaches my hands to war,and my fingers to battle:

2 - my loving kindness, my fortress,my high tower, my deliverer,my shield, and he in whom I take refuge;who subdues my people under me.

3 - The LORD, what is man, that you care for him?Or the son of man, that you think of him?

4 - Man is like a breath.His days are like a shadow that passes away.

5 - Part your heavens, The LORD, and come down.Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

6 - Throw out lightning, and scatter them.Send out your arrows, and rout them.

7 - Stretch out your hand from above,rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters,out of the hands of foreigners;

8 - whose mouths speak deceit,Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9 - I will sing a new song to you, God.On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.

10 - You are he who gives salvation to kings,who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.

11 - Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners,whose mouths speak deceit,whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 - Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants,our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.

13 - Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision.Our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields.

14 - Our oxen will pull heavy loads.There is no breaking in, and no going away,and no outcry in our streets.

15 - Happy are the people who are in such a situation.Happy are the people whose God is The LORD.
