| Psalms 144: (ASV) |
| 1) Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, 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) When our garners are full, affording all manner of store, And our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; |
| 14) When our oxen are well laden; 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; Yea, happy is the people whose God is Jehovah. |
