144:1 Davidic. May the LORD, my rock, be praised, who trains my hands for battle and my fingers for warfare.
144:2 He is my faithful love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer. He is my shield, and I take refuge in Him; He subdues my people under me.
144:3 LORD, what is man, that You care for him, 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 LORD, part Your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
144:6 Flash Your lightning and scatter the foe; shoot Your arrows and rout them.
144:7 Reach down from heaven; rescue me from deep water, and set me free from the grasp of foreigners
144:8 whose mouths speak lies, whose right hands are deceptive.
144:9 God, I will sing a new song to You; I will play on a ten-stringed harp for You--
144:10 the One who gives victory to kings, who frees His servant David from the deadly sword.
144:11 Set me free and rescue me from the grasp of foreigners whose mouths speak lies, whose right hands are deceptive.
144:12 Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters, like corner pillars that are carved in the palace style.
144:13 Our storehouses will be full, supplying all kinds of produce; our flocks will increase by thousands and tens of thousands in our open fields.
144:14 Our cattle will be well fed. There will be no breach in the walls, no going into captivity, and no cry of lament in our public squares.
144:15 Happy are the people with such blessings. Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh.
