Psalms - Chapter 144 | American Standard Version

  • 1. {cf15i A Psalm} of David. Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, {cf15i And} my fingers to fight:
  • 2. My lovingkindness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and he in whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me.
  • 3. Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
  • 4. Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.
  • 5. Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
  • 6. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.
  • 7. Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens;
  • 8. Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
  • 9. I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
  • 10. Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
  • 11. Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
  • 12. When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;
  • 13. {cf15i When} our garners are full, affording all manner of store, {cf15i And} our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
  • 14. {cf15i When} our oxen are well laden; {cf15i When there is} no breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets:
  • 15. Happy is the people that is in such a case; {cf15i Yea}, happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.
