Psalms Chapter 144
Psalms Chapter 144

Blessed Is the LORD Who Brings  Prosperity
1   Blessed be the LORD my strength, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2   My  goodness,  and  my fortress;  my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdues my people under me.
3   LORD,   what   is   man,   that   you  take knowledge of him! or the son of man, that you make account of him!
4   Man is  like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passes away.
5   Bow your heavens, O LORD, and come down:  touch  the  mountains,  and  they  shall smoke.
6   Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out your arrows, and destroy them.
7   Send your hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of foreigners;
8   Whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9   I will sing a new song unto you, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto you.
10   It is he that gives salvation unto kings: who delivers David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11   Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
12   That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner pillars, polished after the similitude of a palace:
13   That our barns may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
14   That our oxen may be strong to labor; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no outcry in our streets.
15   Happy is that people, that is in such a state: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
