144:1  Blessed be the Lord my strength, who teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight;
144:2  my goodness and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and He in whom I trust, who subdueth my people under me.
144:3  Lord, what is man that Thou takest notice of him? Or the son of man that Thou makest account of him?
144:4  Man is like vanity; his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
144:5  Bow Thy heavens, O Lord, and come down; touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
144:6  Cast forth lightning and scatter them; shoot out Thine arrows and destroy them.
144:7  Send Thine hand from above; rescue me and deliver me out of great waters from the hand of strangers,
144:8  whose mouth speaketh vanity 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 and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto Thee.
144:10  It is He that giveth salvation unto kings, who delivereth David His servant from the hurtful sword.
144:11  Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of strangers, whose mouth speaketh vanity and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood,
144:12  that our sons may be as plants full grown in their youth, that our daughters may be as cornerstones, polished after the similitude of a palace;
144:13  that our garners may be full, affording all manner of store, that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets;
144:14  that our oxen may be strong to labor, that there be no breaking in, nor going out, that there be no complaining in our streets.
144:15  Happy is that people for whom such is the case; yea, happy is that people whose God is the Lord.
