Psalm 144 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Prayer for Rescue. A Happy People described.

Psa 144:1

A Psalm of David.

Blessed be Jehovah my rock,

Who teacheth my hands to war,

And my fingers to fight:

Psa 144:2

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.

Psa 144:3

Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him?

Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?

Psa 144:4

Man is like to vanity:

His days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Psa 144:5

Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down:

Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

Psa 144:6

Cast forth lightning, and scatter them;

Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.

Psa 144:7

Stretch forth thy hand from above;

Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters,

Out of the hand of aliens;

Psa 144:8

Whose mouth speaketh deceit,

And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Psa 144:9

I will sing a new song unto thee, O God:

Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

Psa 144:10

Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings;

Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

Psa 144:11

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.

Psa 144:12

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;

Psa 144:13

When our garners are full, affording all manner of store,

And our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

Psa 144:14

When our oxen are well laden;

When there is no breaking in, and no going forth,

And no outcry in our streets:

Psa 144:15

Happy is the people that is in such a case;

Yea, happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.
