144:1  Blessed be the Lord, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle;
144:2  My faithfulness and my fortress, My stronghold and my savior, My shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me.
144:3  Lord, what is man, that You look after him? Or a son of man, that You think of him?
144:4  Man is like the breath; His days are like a passing shadow.
144:5  Bend down Your heavens, Lord, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
144:6  Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Send out Your arrows and confuse them.
144:7  Reach out with Your hand from on high; Rescue me and save me from great waters, From the hand of foreigners
144:8  Whose mouths speak deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
144:9  God, I will sing a new song to You; On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
144:10  Who gives salvation to kings, Who rescues His servant David from the evil sword.
144:11  Rescue me and save me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks deceit And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
144:12  When our sons in their youth are like growing plants, And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace,
144:13  Our granaries are full, providing every kind of produce, And our flocks deliver thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
144:14  May our cattle be bred Without mishap and without loss, May there be no outcry in our streets!
144:15  Blessed are the people who are so situated; Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
