1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psalms 144

1 David blesseth God for his mercy both to him and to man. 5 He prayeth that God would powerfully deliver him from his enemies. 9 He promiseth to praise God. 11 He prayeth for the happy state of the kingdom.

 144:1 ¶ By David. Blessed [is] Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.

 144:2 My 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!

 144:3 Jehovah, what [is] man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?

 144:4 Man to vanity hath been like, His days [are] as a shadow passing by.

 144:5 Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.

 144:6 Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them,

 144:7 Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,

 144:8 Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood.

 144:9 O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee.

 144:10 Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil.

 144:11 Free 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,

 144:12 Because our sons [are] as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished—the likeness of a palace,

 144:13 Our garners [are] full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places,

 144:14 Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.

 144:15 O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the happiness of the people whose God [is] Jehovah!
