Chapter 144

A Mizmor of David.

1

BLESSED be Yahuah my strength, which teaches 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 subdues my people under me.

3

Yahuah, what is man, that you take knowledge of him! or the son of man, that you make account of him!

4

Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passes away.

5

Bow your heavens, O Yahuah, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

6

Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out your arrows, and destroy them.

7

Send your hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

8

Whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9

I will sing a new song unto you, O Elohiym: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto you.

10

It is he that gives salvation unto kings: who delivers David his servant from the hurtful sword.

11

Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaks 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 labor; 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 Elohiym is Yahuah.
