144:1  Of David. Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;
144:2  he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
144:3  O LORD, what is man that you regard him, or the son of man that you think of him?
144:4  Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
144:5  Bow your heavens, O LORD, and come down! Touch the mountains so that they smoke!
144:6  Flash forth the lightning and scatter them; send out your arrows and rout them!
144:7  Stretch out your hand from on high; rescue me and deliver me from the many waters, from the hand of foreigners,
144:8  whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
144:9  I will sing a new song to you, O God; upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,
144:10  who gives victory to kings, who rescues 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, our daughters like corner pillars cut for the structure of a palace;
144:13  may our granaries be full, providing all kinds of produce; may our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
144:14  may our cattle be heavy with young, suffering no mishap or failure in bearing; may there be no cry of distress in our streets!
144:15  Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall! Blessed are the people whose God is the LORD!
