Psalms 144 (kjv)

A Psalm of David^H1732. Blessed^H1288 be the LORD^H3068 my strength^H6697, which teacheth^H3925 my hands^H3027 to war^H7128, and my fingers^H676 to fight^H4421:²My goodness^H2617, and my fortress^H4686; my high tower^H4869, and my deliverer^H6403; my shield^H4043, and he in whom I trust^H2620; who subdueth^H7286 my people^H5971 under me.³LORD^H3068, what is man^H120, that thou takest knowledge^H3045 of him! or the son^H1121 of man^H582, that thou makest account^H2803 of him!⁴Man^H120 is like^H1819 to vanity^H1892: his days^H3117 are as a shadow^H6738 that passeth away^H5674.

⁵Bow^H5186 thy heavens^H8064, O LORD^H3068, and come down^H3381: touch^H5060 the mountains^H2022, and they shall smoke^H6225.⁶Cast forth^H1299 lightning^H1300, and scatter^H6327 them: shoot out^H7971 thine arrows^H2671, and destroy^H2000 them.⁷Send^H7971 thine hand^H3027 from above^H4791; rid^H6475 me, and deliver^H5337 me out of great^H7227 waters^H4325, from the hand^H3027 of strange^H5236 children^H1121;⁸Whose mouth^H6310 speaketh^H1696 vanity^H7723, and their right hand^H3225 is a right hand^H3225 of falsehood^H8267.

⁹I will sing^H7891 a new^H2319 song^H7892 unto thee, O God^H430: upon a psaltery^H5035 and an instrument of ten strings^H6218 will I sing praises^H2167 unto thee.¹⁰It is he that giveth^H5414 salvation^H8668 unto kings^H4428: who delivereth^H6475 David^H1732 his servant^H5650 from the hurtful^H7451 sword^H2719.

¹¹Rid^H6475 me, and deliver^H5337 me from the hand^H3027 of strange^H5236 children^H1121, whose mouth^H6310 speaketh^H1696 vanity^H7723, and their right hand^H3225 is a right hand^H3225 of falsehood^H8267:¹²That our sons^H1121 may be as plants^H5195 grown up^H1431 in their youth^H5271; that our daughters^H1323 may be as corner stones^H2106, polished^H2404 after the similitude^H8403 of a palace^H1964:¹³That our garners^H4200 may be full^H4392, affording^H6329 all manner of store^{H2177 H2177}: that our sheep^H6629 may bring forth thousands^H503 and ten thousands^H7231 in our streets^H2351:¹⁴That our oxen^H441 may be strong to labour^H5445; that there be no breaking in^H6556, nor going out^H3318; that there be no complaining^H6682 in our streets^H7339.¹⁵Happy^H835 is that people^H5971, that is in such a case^H3602: yea, happy^H835 is that people^H5971, whose God^H430 is the LORD^H3068.
