144:1  Praise and thanks be to the Lord, my rock. He makes my hands ready for war, and my fingers for battle.
144:2  He is my loving-kindness and my walls of strength, my strong place and the One Who sets me free, my safe-covering and the One in Whom I trust. He brings my people under my rule.
144:3  O Lord, what is man that You think of him, the son of man that You remember him?
144:4  Man is like a breath. His days are like a passing shadow.
144:5  O Lord, divide Your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains so they will smoke.
144:6  Send out lightning and divide them. Send out Your arrows and trouble them.
144:7  Put out Your hand from above. Take me out of trouble and away from the many waters, from the power of those from other lands.
144:8  Their mouths speak lies. And their right hand is a right hand that is false.
144:9  I will sing a new song to You, O God. I will sing praises to You on a harp of ten strings.
144:10  You save kings. You take Your servant David away from the sharp sword.
144:11  Take me out of trouble and away from the power of those from other lands. Their mouths speak lies. And their right hand is a right hand that is false.
144:12  May our young sons be like plants that are full-grown. And may our daughters be like the corner pieces of a great house.
144:13  May our store-houses be full of all kinds of food. And may our sheep grow by the thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
144:14  Let our cattle give birth without trouble and without loss. And may there be no cry of trouble in our streets.
144:15  Happy are the people who have all this. Yes, happy are the people whose God is the Lord!
