Psalm 144 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Blessed Be Yahweh, My Rock

Psa 144:1

Of David.

Blessed be Yahweh, my rock,

Who trains my hands for war,

My fingers for battle;

Psa 144:2

My lovingkindness and my fortress,

My stronghold and my deliverer,

My shield and He in whom I take refuge,

Who subdues [fn]my people under me.

Psa 144:3

O Yahweh, what is man, that You know him?

Or the son of man, that You think of him?

Psa 144:4

Man is like a breath;

His days are like a passing shadow.

Psa 144:5

O Yahweh, bow Your heavens, and come down;

Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

Psa 144:6

Flash forth lightning and scatter them;

Send out Your arrows and confuse them.

Psa 144:7

Send forth Your hand from on high;

Set me free and deliver me out of many waters,

Out of the hand of foreigners

Psa 144:8

Whose mouth speaks worthlessness,

And whose right hand is a right hand of lying.

Psa 144:9

O God, I will sing a new song to You;

Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,

Psa 144:10

Who gives salvation to kings,

Who sets David His servant free from the evil sword.

Psa 144:11

Set me free and deliver me out of the hand of the sons of a foreigner,

Whose mouth speaks worthlessness

And whose right hand is a right hand of lying.

Psa 144:12

That our sons would be as grown-up plants in their youth,

And our daughters as corner pillars [fn]fashioned as for a palace;

Psa 144:13

That our granaries would be full, furnishing every kind of produce,

And our flocks would bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields outside;

Psa 144:14

That our cattle would [fn]bear

Without [fn]mishap and without [fn]loss,

And without outcry in our streets!

Psa 144:15

How blessed are the people for whom this is so;

How blessed are the people for whom God is Yahweh!
