144:1  Of David. Blessed be Adonai my Rock— who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
144:2  He is my lovingkindness, my fortress, my strong tower, and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.
144:3  Adonai, what is man, that You take note of him? Or the son of man, that You consider him?
144:4  Man is like a breath— his days are like a passing shadow.
144:5  Adonai, part Your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains, so they smoke.
144:6  Flash forth lightning and scatter them. Send out Your arrows and confuse them.
144:7  Stretch forth Your hands from on high. Snatch me, deliver me out of deep waters, out of the hand of foreigners,
144:8  whose mouth speaks falsehood, whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.
144:9  God, I sing a new song to You, on a ten-string harp I sing praises to You—
144:10  who gives salvation to kings, who rescues Your servant David from the evil sword.
144:11  Snatch me, deliver me out of the hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaks falsehood, whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.
144:12  Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars carved for the construction of a palace.
144:13  Our storehouses are full, supplying every kind of produce. Our flocks increase by thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
144:14  Our oxen bear a heavy load. There is no breach, no going into captivity, no outcry in our streets.
144:15  Happy are such a people! Blessed are the people whose God is Adonai!
