AMP ▾Psalms ▾144 ▾Psalms 1441Blessed be the L ord , my Rock and my great strength, Who trains my hands for war And my fingers for battle;2My [steadfast] lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my rescuer, My shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me.3L ord , what is man that You take notice of him? Or the son of man that You think of him? [Job 7:17; Ps 8:4; Heb 2:6]4Man is like a mere breath; His days are like a shadow that passes away.5¶Bow Your heavens, O L ord , and come down; Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.6Flash lightning and scatter my enemies; Send out Your arrows and confuse and embarrass and frustrate them.7Stretch out Your hand from above; Set me free and rescue me from great waters, Out of the hands of [hostile] foreigners [who surround us]8Whose mouths speak deceit [without restraint], And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.9¶I will sing a new song to You, O God; Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,10Who gives salvation to kings, Who sets David His servant free from the evil sword.11Set me free and rescue me from the hand of [hostile] foreigners, Whose mouth speaks deceit [without restraint], And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.12¶Let our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace;13Let our barns be full, supplying every kind of produce, And our flocks bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;14Let our cattle bear Without mishap and without loss, And let there be no outcry in our streets!15How blessed and favored are the people in such circumstance; How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored] are the people whose God is the L ord !Psalms 143Psalms 145
