Psalm 144 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 144:1By David. Blessed is Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.
Psa 144:2My kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my people under me!
Psa 144:3Jehovah, what is man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?
Psa 144:4Man to vanity hath been like, His days are as a shadow passing by.
Psa 144:5Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.
Psa 144:6Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them,
Psa 144:7Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,
Psa 144:8Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
Psa 144:9O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee.
Psa 144:10Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil.
Psa 144:11Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand is a right hand of falsehood,
Psa 144:12Because our sons are as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished -- the likeness of a palace,
Psa 144:13Our garners are full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places,
Psa 144:14Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.
Psa 144:15O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the happiness of the people whose God is Jehovah!
