Psalms 144 — JPSTN
144Verse 1A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my Rock, who traineth my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;Verse 2My lovingkindness, and my fortress, my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and He in whom I take refuge; who subdueth my people under me.Verse 3LORD, what is man, that Thou takest knowledge of him? or the son of man, that Thou makest account of him?Verse 4Man is like unto a breath; his days are as a shadow that passeth away.Verse 5O LORD, bow Thy heavens, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.Verse 6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; send out Thine arrows, and discomfit them.Verse 7Stretch forth Thy hands from on high; rescue me, and deliver me out of many waters, out of the hand of strangers;Verse 8Whose mouth speaketh falsehood, and their right hand is a right hand of lying.Verse 9O God, I will sing a new song unto Thee, upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto Thee;Verse 10Who givest salvation unto kings, who rescuest David Thy servant from the hurtful sword.Verse 11Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of strangers, whose mouth speaketh falsehood, and their right hand is a right hand of lying.Verse 12We whose sons are as plants grown up in their youth; whose daughters are as corner-pillars carved after the fashion of a palace;Verse 13Whose garners are full, affording all manner of store; whose sheep increase by thousands and ten thousands in our fields;Verse 14Whose oxen are well laden; with no breach, and no going forth, and no outcry in our broad places;Verse 15Happy is the people that is in such a case. Yea, happy is the people whose God is the LORD.
