Psalms 144:1-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 144
1
Blessed be the
Lord
, my rock,
Who trains my hands for war,
And
my fingers for battle;
2
My faithfulness and my fortress,
My stronghold and my savior,
My shield and He in whom I take refuge,
Who subdues my people under me.
3
Lord
, what is man, that You look after him?
Or a son of man, that You think of him?
4
Man is like the breath;
His days are like a passing shadow.
5
Bend down Your heavens,
Lord
, and come down;
Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
6
Flash forth lightning and scatter them;
Send out Your arrows and confuse them.
7
Reach out with Your hand from on high;
Rescue me and save me from great waters,
From the hand of foreigners
8
Whose mouths speak deceit,
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9
God, I will sing a new song to You;
On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
10
Who gives salvation to kings,
Who rescues His servant David from the evil sword.
11
Rescue me and save me from the hand of foreigners,
Whose mouth speaks deceit
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12
When our sons in their youth
are
like growing plants,
And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace,
13
Our granaries
are
full, providing every kind
of produce,
And
our flocks deliver thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
14
May
our cattle be bred
Without mishap and without loss,
May there be
no outcry in our streets!
15
Blessed are the people who are so situated;
Blessed are the people whose God is the
Lord
!
King James Version
Chapter 144
1
A Psalm of David. Blessed be the
Lord
my strength, which teacheth 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 subdueth my people under me.
3
Lord
, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
4
Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
5
Bow thy heavens, O
Lord
, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6
Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
7
Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
8
Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9
I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10
It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11
Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh 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 stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
13
That our garners 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 labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
15
Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the
Lord
.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 144
1
Of David.
Blessed be the
Lord
, my rock
who trains my hands for battle
and my fingers for warfare.
2
He is my faithful love and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer.
He is my shield, and I take refuge in him;
he subdues my people under me.
3
Lord
, what is a human that you care for him,
a son of man that you think of him?
4
A human is like a breath;
his days are like a passing shadow.
5
Lord
, part your heavens and come down.
Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
6
Flash your lightning and scatter the foe;
shoot your arrows and rout them.
7
Reach down from on high;
rescue me from deep water, and set me free
from the grasp of foreigners
8
whose mouths speak lies,
whose right hands are deceptive.
9
God, I will sing a new song to you;
I will play on a ten-stringed harp for you —
10
the one who gives victory to kings,
who frees his servant David
from the deadly sword.
11
Set me free and rescue me
from foreigners
whose mouths speak lies,
whose right hands are deceptive.
12
Then our sons will be like plants
nurtured in their youth,
our daughters, like corner pillars
that are carved in the palace style.
13
Our storehouses will be full,
supplying all kinds of produce;
our flocks will increase by thousands
and tens of thousands in our open fields.
14
Our cattle will be well fed.
There will be no breach in the walls,
no going into captivity,
and no cry of lament in our public squares.
15
Happy are the people with such blessings.
Happy are the people whose God is the
Lord
.
New Living Translation
Chapter 144
1
Praise the
Lord
, who is my rock.
He trains my hands for war
and gives my fingers skill for battle.
2
He is my loving ally and my fortress,
my tower of safety, my rescuer.
He is my shield, and I take refuge in him.
He makes the nations submit to me.
3
O
Lord
, what are human beings that you should notice them,
mere mortals that you should think about them?
4
For they are like a breath of air;
their days are like a passing shadow.
5
Open the heavens,
Lord
, and come down.
Touch the mountains so they billow smoke.
6
Hurl your lightning bolts and scatter your enemies!
Shoot your arrows and confuse them!
7
Reach down from heaven and rescue me;
rescue me from deep waters,
from the power of my enemies.
8
Their mouths are full of lies;
they swear to tell the truth, but they lie instead.
9
I will sing a new song to you, O God!
I will sing your praises with a ten-stringed harp.
10
For you grant victory to kings!
You rescued your servant David from the fatal sword.
11
Save me!
Rescue me from the power of my enemies.
Their mouths are full of lies;
they swear to tell the truth, but they lie instead.
12
May our sons flourish in their youth
like well-nurtured plants.
May our daughters be like graceful pillars,
carved to beautify a palace.
13
May our barns be filled
with crops of every kind.
May the flocks in our fields multiply by the thousands,
even tens of thousands,
14
and may our oxen be loaded down with produce.
May there be no enemy breaking through our walls,
no going into captivity,
no cries of alarm in our town squares.
15
Yes, joyful are those who live like this!
Joyful indeed are those whose God is the
Lord
.
English Standard Version
Chapter 144
1
Blessed be the
Lord
, my rock,
who trains my hands for war,
and my fingers for battle;
2
he is my steadfast love and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield and he in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.
3
O
Lord
, what is man that you regard him,
or the son of man that you think of him?
4
Man is like a breath;
his days are like a passing shadow.
5
Bow your heavens, O
Lord
, and come down!
Touch the mountains so that they smoke!
6
Flash forth the lightning and scatter them;
send out your arrows and rout them!
7
Stretch out your hand from on high;
rescue me and deliver me from the many waters,
from the hand of foreigners,
8
whose mouths speak lies
and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9
I will sing a new song to you, O God;
upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,
10
who gives victory to kings,
who rescues David his servant from the cruel sword.
11
Rescue me and deliver me
from the hand of foreigners,
whose mouths speak lies
and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12
May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars
cut for the structure of a palace;
13
may our granaries be full,
providing all kinds of produce;
may our sheep bring forth thousands
and ten thousands in our fields;
14
may our cattle be heavy with young,
suffering no mishap or failure in bearing;
may there be no cry of distress in our streets!
15
Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall!
Blessed are the people whose God is the
Lord
!
New International Version
Chapter 144
1
Of David.
Praise be to the
Lord
my Rock,
who trains my hands for war,
my fingers for battle.
2
He is my loving God and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.
3
Lord
, what are human beings that you care for them,
mere mortals that you think of them?
4
They are like a breath;
their days are like a fleeting shadow.
5
Part your heavens,
Lord
, and come down;
touch the mountains, so that they smoke.
6
Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy;
shoot your arrows and rout them.
7
Reach down your hand from on high;
deliver me and rescue me
from the mighty waters,
from the hands of foreigners
8
whose mouths are full of lies,
whose right hands are deceitful.
9
I will sing a new song to you, my God;
on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,
10
to the One who gives victory to kings,
who delivers his servant David. From the deadly sword
11
deliver me;
rescue me from the hands of foreigners
whose mouths are full of lies,
whose right hands are deceitful.
12
Then our sons in their youth
will be like well-nurtured plants,
and our daughters will be like pillars
carved to adorn a palace.
13
Our barns will be filled
with every kind of provision.
Our sheep will increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields;
14
our oxen will draw heavy loads.
There will be no breaching of walls,
no going into captivity,
no cry of distress in our streets.
15
Blessed is the people of whom this is true;
blessed is the people whose God is the
Lord
.

My lovingkindness and my fortress,
My high tower and my deliverer,
My shield and
the One

Who subdues my people under me.
3
Lord
, what
is
man, that You take knowledge of him?

Sculptured in palace style;

full,
Supplying all kinds of produce;

our sheep may bring forth thousands
And ten thousands in our fields;
14
That
our oxen
may be
well laden;
That there be
no breaking in or going out;
That there be
no outcry in our streets.
15
Happy
are
the people who are in such a state;
Happy
are
the people whose God
is
the
Lord
!
