144:1  Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, And my fingers to fight:
144:2  My 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.
144:3  Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
144:4  Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.
144:5  Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
144:6  Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.
144:7  Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens;
144:8  Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
144:9  I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
144:10  Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
144:11  Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
144:12  When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;
144:13  When our garners are full, affording all manner of store, And our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
144:14  When our oxen are well laden; When there is no breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets:
144:15  Happy is the people that is in such a case; Yea , happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.
