Psalms 144

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, the one who trains my hands for battle, my fingers for war--

2 my loyal love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, and [one] in whom I take refuge, the one who subdues peoples under me.

3 O Yahweh, what [is] humankind that you take knowledge of him, [or the] son of man that you take thought of him?

4 Humankind is like a breath, his days like a passing shadow.

5 O Yahweh, bow the heavens and come down; touch the mountains so that they smoke.

6 Flash forth lightning and scatter them; dispatch your arrows and rout them.

7 Stretch out your hands from on high; Rescue me and deliver me from many waters, from [the] hand of foreigners,

8 whose mouth speaks falsely, and their right hand [is] a false right hand.

9 O God, I will sing a new song to you. With a lyre of ten [strings] I will sing praise to you,

10 who gives victory to kings, who rescues David his servant from [the] evil sword.

11 Rescue me and deliver me from [the] hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaks falsely, and whose right hand [is] a false right hand,

12 that our sons [may be] like plants, full grown in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars, carved in the style of a palace,

13 [that] our granaries [may be] full, providing [produce] of all kinds, [that] our sheep [may] produce by the thousands, by the tens of thousands in our open fields,

14 [that] our cattle [may be] pregnant; [that there be] no breach [in our walls], and no going out [in exile], and no outcry in our plazas.

15 Blessed [are] the people who have [it] thus. Blessed [are] the people whose God [is] Yahweh.

New International Version NIV

1 Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

2 He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.

3 LORD, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?

4 They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow.

5 Part your heavens, LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke.

6 Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them.

7 Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners

8 whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful.

9 I will sing a new song to you, my God; on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,

10 to the One who gives victory to kings, who delivers his servant David. From the deadly sword

11 deliver me; rescue me from the hands of foreigners whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful.

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

13 Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision. Our sheep will increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields;

14 our oxen will draw heavy loads.There will be no breaching of walls, no going into captivity, no cry of distress in our streets.

15 Blessed is the people of whom this is true; blessed is the people whose God is the LORD.
