Psalms 144
</p>
<p>
1. Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to
fight:
<br/>
2. My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in
whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
<br/>
<b>3. Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou
makest account of him!</b>
<br/>
4. Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
<br/>
5. Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
<br/>
6. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
<br/>
7. Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand
of strange children;
<br/>
8. Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
<br/>
9. I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten
strings will I sing praises unto thee.
<br/>
10. It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the
hurtful sword.
<br/>
11. Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh
vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
<br/>
12. That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as
corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
<br/>
13. That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may
bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
<br/>
14. That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out;
that there be no complaining in our streets.
<br/>
15. Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God
is the Lord.
