Psalms 144:5-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 144
5Bend down Your heavens, Lord, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke. 6Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Send out Your arrows and confuse them. 7Reach out with Your hand from on high; Rescue me and save me from great waters, From the hand of foreigners 8Whose mouths speak deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 9God, I will sing a new song to You; On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You, 10Who gives salvation to kings, Who rescues His servant David from the evil sword. 11Rescue me and save me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks deceit And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 12When our sons in their youth are like growing plants, And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace, 13Our granaries are full, providing every kind of produce, And our flocks deliver thousands and ten thousands in our fields;King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 144
5 Lord, part your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke. 6Flash your lightning and scatter the foe; shoot your arrows and rout them. 7Reach down from on high; rescue me from deep water, and set me free from the grasp of foreigners
8whose mouths speak lies, whose right hands are deceptive.
9God, I will sing a new song to you; I will play on a ten-stringed harp for you —
10the one who gives victory to kings, who frees his servant David from the deadly sword.
11Set me free and rescue me from foreigners whose mouths speak lies, whose right hands are deceptive.
12Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters, like corner pillars that are carved in the palace style.
13Our storehouses will be full, supplying all kinds of produce; our flocks will increase by thousands and tens of thousands in our open fields.
New Living Translation
Chapter 144
5Open the heavens, Lord, and come down. Touch the mountains so they billow smoke. 6Hurl your lightning bolts and scatter your enemies! Shoot your arrows and confuse them! 7Reach down from heaven and rescue me; rescue me from deep waters, from the power of my enemies. 8Their mouths are full of lies; they swear to tell the truth, but they lie instead.
9I will sing a new song to you, O God! I will sing your praises with a ten-stringed harp.
10For you grant victory to kings! You rescued your servant David from the fatal sword.
11Save 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.
English Standard Version
Chapter 144
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, 8whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 9I will sing a new song to you, O God; upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you, 10who gives victory to kings, who rescues David his servant from the cruel sword. 11Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 12May 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;New International Version
Chapter 144
5Part your heavens, Lord, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke. 6Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them. 7Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners
8whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful.
9I will sing a new song to you, my God; on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,
11deliver me; rescue me from the hands of foreigners whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful.
12Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace.
13Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision. Our sheep will increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields;
