Psalm 144 :: King James Version (KJV)

Psa 144:1

Psa 144:1[[A Psalm of David.]] Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

Psa 144:2

Psa 144:2My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

Psa 144:3

Psa 144:3LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

Psa 144:4

Psa 144:4Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Psa 144:5

Psa 144:5Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

Psa 144:6

Psa 144:6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

Psa 144:7

Psa 144:7Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

Psa 144:8

Psa 144:8Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Psa 144:9

Psa 144:9I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

Psa 144:10

Psa 144:10It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

Psa 144:11

Psa 144:11Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:

Psa 144:12

Psa 144:12That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:

Psa 144:13

Psa 144:13That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:

Psa 144:14

Psa 144:14That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.

Psa 144:15

Psa 144:15Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
