←Prev   Psalms 144 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


144:1  He praiseth the Lord with great affection and humility for his kingdom restored, and for his victories obtained. 5 Demanding help, and the destruction of the wicked, 9 Promising to acknowledge the same with songs of praises, 15 And declareth wherein the felicity of any people consisteth. A Psalm of David. Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth mine hands to fight, and my fingers to battle.
144:2  He is my goodness and my fortress, my tower and my deliverer, my shield and in him I trust, which subdueth my people under me.
144:3  Lord, what is man that thou regardest him! or the son of man that thou thinkest upon him?
144:4  Man is like to vanity; his days are like a shadow that vanisheth.
144:5  Bow thine heavens, O Lord, and come down; touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
144:6  Cast forth the lightning and scatter them; shoot out thine arrows and consume them.
144:7  Send thine hand from above: deliver me, and take me out of the great waters, and from the hand of strangers,
144:8  Whose mouth talketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
144:9  I will sing a new song unto thee, O God, and sing unto thee upon a viol, and an instrument of ten strings.
144:10  It is he that giveth deliverance unto kings, and rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
144:11  Rescue me, and deliver me from the hand of strangers, whose mouth talketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
144:12  That our sons may be as the plants growing up in their youth, and our daughters as the corner stones, graven after the similitude of a palace:
144:13  That our corners may be full and abounding with divers sorts, and that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousand in our streets.
144:14  That our oxen may be strong to labor; that there be none invasion, nor going out, nor no crying in our streets.
144:15  Blessed are the people, that be so, yea blessed are the people whose God is the Lord.
