Psalm 144

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 May the Lord my rock be praised, who trains my hands for battle and my fingers for warfare.

2 He is my faithful love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer. He is my shield, and I take refuge in Him; He subdues my people under me.

3 Lord, what is man, that You care for him, the son of man, that You think of him?

4 Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

5 Lord, part Your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

6 Flash [Your] lightning and scatter the foe; shoot Your arrows and rout them.

7 Reach down from on high; rescue me from deep water, and set me free from the grasp of foreigners

8 whose mouths speak lies, whose right hands are deceptive.

9 God, I will sing a new song to You; I will play on a ten-stringed harp for You-

10 the One who gives victory to kings, who frees His servant David from the deadly sword.

11 Set me free and rescue me from the grasp of foreigners whose mouths speak lies, whose right hands are deceptive.

12 Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters, like corner pillars that are carved in the palace style.

13 Our storehouses will be full, supplying all kinds of produce; our flocks will increase by thousands and tens of thousands in our open fields.

14 Our cattle will be well fed. There will be no breach [in the walls], no going [into captivity], and no cry of lament in our public squares.

15 Happy are the people with such [blessings]. Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.

English Standard Version ESV

1 Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;

2 he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.

3 O Lord, what is man that you regard him, or the son of man that you think of him?

4 Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

5 Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down! Touch the mountains so that they smoke!

6 Flash forth the lightning and scatter them; send out your arrows and rout them!

7 Stretch out your hand from on high; rescue me and deliver me from the many waters, from the hand of foreigners,

8 whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9 I will sing a new song to you, O God; upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,

10 who gives victory to kings, who rescues David his servant from the cruel sword.

11 Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, our daughters like corner pillars cut for the structure of a palace;

13 may our granaries be full, providing all kinds of produce; may our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

14 may our cattle be heavy with young, suffering no mishap or failure in bearing; may there be no cry of distress in our streets!

15 Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall! Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
