144:1  A Psalm of David. Blessed be the Lord my strength, who prepares my hands for war, and my fingers to fight;
144:2  my goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer, my shield, and in whom I trust; who subdues nations under me.
144:3  O Lord, who is man that You take notice of him or the son of a man that You make account of him?
144:4  Man is like a breath; his days are as a shadow that passes away.
144:5  Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down; touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
144:6  Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; shoot out Your arrows, and destroy them.
144:7  Send Your hand from above; rescue me, and deliver me out of the great waters, from the hand of foreigners,
144:8  whose mouth speaks lies, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
144:9  I will sing a new song unto You, O God, on a harp and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises unto You;
144:10  it is He who gives victory to kings, who delivers David His servant from the cruel sword.
144:11  Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
144:12  May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, and our daughters like cornerstones, cut in the similitude of a palace,
144:13  that our granaries may be full, providing all manner of produce, that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields,
144:14  and may our cattle be strong in labor. May there be no breaking in or going out, and no wailing in our streets.
144:15  Blessed are the people who have such things; indeed, blessed are the people whose God is the Lord.
