Psalm 144

Good News Translation GNT

1 Praise the Lord, my protector! He trains me for battle and prepares me for war.

2 He is my protector and defender, my shelter and savior, in whom I trust for safety. He subdues the nations under me.

3 Lord, what are mortals, that you notice them; mere mortals, that you pay attention to us?

4 We are like a puff of wind; our days are like a passing shadow.

5 O Lord, tear the sky open and come down; touch the mountains, and they will pour out smoke.

6 Send flashes of lightning and scatter your enemies; shoot your arrows and send them running.

7 Reach down from above, pull me out of the deep water, and rescue me; save me from the power of foreigners,

8 who never tell the truth and lie even under oath.

9 I will sing you a new song, O God; I will play the harp and sing to you.

10 You give victory to kings and rescue your servant David.

11 Save me from my cruel enemies; rescue me from the power of foreigners, who never tell the truth and lie even under oath.

12 May our sons in their youth be like plants that grow up strong. May our daughters be like stately columns which adorn the corners of a palace.

13 May our barns be filled with crops of every kind. May the sheep in our fields bear young by the tens of thousands.

14 May our cattle reproduce plentifully without miscarriage or loss. May there be no cries of distress in our streets.

15 Happy is the nation of whom this is true; happy are the people whose God is the Lord!

1 <<By David.>> Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, Who teaches my hands to war, And my fingers to battle:

2 My lovingkindness, my fortress, My high tower, my deliverer, My shield, and he in whom I take refuge; Who subdues my people under me.

3 Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?

4 Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.

5 Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

6 Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them.

7 Stretch out your hand from above, Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hands of foreigners;

8 Whose mouths speak deceit, Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9 I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.

10 You are he who gives salvation to kings, Who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.

11 Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, Whose mouths speak deceit, Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, Our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.

13 Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields.

14 Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, And no outcry in our streets.

15 Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh.
