Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.144
[1] Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my
hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
[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.
[3] LORD, 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 LORD, and come down: touch the
mountains, and they shall smoke.
[6] Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out
thine arrows, and destroy them.
[7] Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out
of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
[8] Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a
right hand of falsehood.
[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.
[10] It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who
delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
[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:
[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:
[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:
[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.
[15] Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea,
happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
