Psa 144:1
Of David.
Blessed H1288 be Yahweh H3068, my rock H6697,
Who trains H3925 my hands H3027 for war H7128,
My fingers H676 for battle H4421;
Psa 144:2
My lovingkindness H2617 and my fortress H4686,
My stronghold H4869 and my deliverer H6403,
My shield H4043 and He in whom I take H2620 refuge H2620,
Who subdues H7286 [fn]my people H5971 under H8478 me.
Psa 144:3
O Yahweh H3068, what H4100 is man H120, that You know H3045 him?
Or the son H1121 of man H582, that You think H2803 of him?
Psa 144:4
Man H120 is H1819 like H1819 a breath H1892;
His days H3117 are like a passing H5674 shadow H6738.
Psa 144:5
O Yahweh H3068, bow H5186 Your heavens H8064, and come H3381 down H3381;
Touch H5060 the mountains H2022, that they may smoke H6225.
Psa 144:6
Flash H1299 forth H1299 lightning H1300 and scatter H6327 them;
Send H7971 out H7971 Your arrows H2671 and confuse H2000 them.
Psa 144:7
Send H7971 forth H7971 Your hand H3027 from on high H4791;
Set H6475 me free H6475 and deliver H5337 me out H5337 of many H7227 waters H4325,
Out of the hand H3027 of foreigners H1121 H5236
Psa 144:8
Whose H834 mouth H6310 speaks H1696 worthlessness H7723,
And whose right H3225 hand H3225 is a right H3225 hand H3225 of lying H8267.
Psa 144:9
O God H430, I will sing H7891 a new H2319 song H7892 to You;
Upon a harp H5035 of ten H6218 strings H6218 I will sing H2167 praises H2167 to You,
Psa 144:10
Who gives H5414 salvation H8668 to kings H4428,
Who sets H6475 David H1732 His servant H5650 free H6475 from the evil H7451 sword H2719.
Psa 144:11
Set H6475 me free H6475 and deliver H5337 me out H5337 of the hand H3027 of the sons H1121 of a foreigner H5236,
Whose H834 mouth H6310 speaks H1696 worthlessness H7723
Psa 144:12
That our sons H1121 would be as grown-up H1431 plants H5195 in their youth H5271,
And our daughters H1323 as corner H2106 pillars [fn]fashioned H2404 as for a palace H1964;
Psa 144:13
That our granaries H4200 would be full H4392, furnishing H6329 every H2177 kind H2177 of produce,
And our flocks H6629 would bring H503 forth H503 thousands H503 and ten H7232 thousands H7232 in our fields outside H2351;
Psa 144:14
That our cattle H441 would [fn]bear H5445
Without H369 [fn]mishap H6556 and without H369 [fn]loss H3318,
And without H369 outcry H6682 in our streets H7339!
Psa 144:15
How blessed H835 are the people H5971 for whom H7945 this is so H3602;
How blessed H835 are the people H5971 for whom H7945 God H430 is Yahweh H3068!
