Psalms 144:1-10
-
1 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.
