ASV_Strong : Psalms 144
1.
2. My lovingkindness[H2617], and my fortress[H4686], My high tower[H4869], and my deliverer[H6403]; My shield[H4043], and he in whom I take refuge[H2620]; Who subdueth[H7286] my people under me[H5971].
3. Jehovah[H3068], what is man[H120], that thou takest knowledge[H3045] of him[H1121]? Or the son of man[H582], that thou makest account of him[H2803]?
4. Man[H120] is like[H1819] to vanity[H1892]: His days[H3117] are as a shadow[H6738] that passeth away[H5674].
5. Bow[H5186] thy heavens[H8064], O Jehovah[H3068], and come down[H3381]: Touch[H5060] the mountains[H2022], and they shall smoke[H6225].
6. Cast forth[H1299] lightning[H1300], and scatter[H6327] them[H7971]; Send out thine arrows[H2671], and discomfit them[H2000].
7. Stretch[H7971] forth thy hand[H3027] from above[H4791]; Rescue[H5337] me[H5337], and deliver me out of great[H7227] waters[H4325], Out of the hand[H3027] of[H5236] aliens[H1121];
8. Whose mouth[H6310] speaketh[H1696] deceit[H7723], And whose right hand[H3225] is a right hand[H3225] of falsehood[H8267].
9. I will sing[H7891] a new[H2319] song[H7892] unto thee[H430], O God: Upon a psaltery[H5035] of ten strings[H6218] will I sing praises unto thee[H2167].
10. Thou art he that giveth[H5414] salvation[H8668] unto kings[H4428]; Who rescueth[H6475] David[H1732] his servant[H5650] from the hurtful[H7451] sword[H2719].
11. Rescue[H6475] me[H5337], and deliver me out of the hand[H3027] of[H5236] aliens[H1121], Whose mouth[H6310] speaketh[H1696] deceit[H7723], And whose right hand[H3225] is a right hand[H3225] of falsehood[H8267].
12. When our sons[H1121] shall be as plants[H5195] grown up[H1431] in their youth[H5271], And our daughters[H1323] as corner-stones[H2106] hewn[H2404] after the fashion[H8403] of a palace[H1964];
13. When our garners[H4200] are full[H4392], affording[H6329] all manner of store[H2177], And our sheep[H6629] bring forth thousands[H503] and ten thousands[H503] in our fields[H2351];
14. When our oxen[H441] are well laden[H5445]; When there is no breaking in[H6556], and no going forth[H3318], And no outcry[H6682] in our streets[H7339]:
15. Happy[H835] is the people[H5971] that is in such a case[H3602]; Yea[H835], happy is the people[H5971] whose God[H430] is Jehovah[H3068].
