144:1 By
David.
Blessed
[is]
Jehovah
my
rock,
who
is
teaching
My
hands
for
war,
my
fingers
for
battle.
144:2 My
kind
one,
and
my
bulwark,
My
tower,
and
my
deliverer,
My
shield,
and
in
whom
I
have
trusted,
Who
is
subduing
my
people
under
me!
144:3 Jehovah,
what
[is]
man
that
Thou
knowest
him
Son
of
man,
that
Thou
esteemest
him
144:4 Man
to
vanity
hath
been
like,
His
days
[are]
as
a
shadow
passing
by.
144:5 Jehovah,
incline
Thy
heavens
and
come
down,
Strike
against
mountains,
and
they
smoke.
144:6 Send
forth
lightning,
and
scatter
them,
Send
forth
Thine
arrows,
and
trouble
them,
144:7 Send
forth
Thy
hand
from
on
high,
Free
me,
and
deliver
me
from
many
waters,
From
the
hand
of
sons
of
a
stranger,
144:8 Because
their
mouth
hath
spoken
vanity,
And
their
right
hand
[is]
a
right
hand
of
falsehood.
144:9 O
God,
a
new
song
I
sing
to
Thee,
On
a
psaltery
of
ten
strings
I
sing
praise
to
Thee.
144:10 Who
is
giving
deliverance
to
kings,
Who
is
freeing
David
His
servant
from
the
sword
of
evil.
144:11 Free
me,
and
deliver
me
From
the
hand
of
sons
of
a
stranger,
Because
their
mouth
hath
spoken
vanity,
And
their
right
hand
[is]
a
right
hand
of
falsehood,
144:12 Because
our
sons
[are]
as
plants,
Becoming
great
in
their
youth,
Our
daughters
as
hewn
stones,
Polished--the
likeness
of
a
palace,
144:13 Our
garners
[are]
full,
bringing
out
from
kind
to
kind,
Our
flocks
are
bringing
forth
thousands,
Ten
thousands
in
our
out-places,
144:14 Our
oxen
are
carrying,
there
is
no
breach,
And
there
is
no
outgoing,
And
there
is
no
crying
in
our
broad
places.
144:15 O
the
happiness
of
the
people
that
is
thus,
O
the
happiness
of
the
people
whose
God
[is]
Jehovah!
