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 ¶ [[[A Psalm] of David.]] 1732 Blessed 1288 z8803 [be] the LORD 3068 my strength, 6697 which teacheth 3925 z8764 my hands 3027 to war, 7128 [and] my fingers 676 to fight: 4421

 144:2 My goodness, 2617 and my fortress; 4686 my high tower, 4869 and my deliverer; 6403 z8764 my shield, 4043 and [he] in whom I trust; 2620 z8804 who subdueth 7286 z8802 my people 5971 under x8478 me.

 144:3 LORD, 3068 what x4100 [is] man, 120 that thou takest knowledge 3045 z8799 of him! [or] the son 1121 of man, 582 that thou makest account 2803 z8762 of him!

 144:4 Man 120 is like 1819 z8804 to vanity: 1892 his days 3117 [are] as a shadow 6738 that passeth away. 5674 z8802

 144:5 Bow 5186 z8685 thy heavens, 8064 O LORD, 3068 and come down: 3381 z8799 touch 5060 z8798 the mountains, 2022 and they shall smoke. 6225 z8799

 144:6 Cast forth 1299 z8798 lightning, 1300 and scatter 6327 z8686 them: shoot out 7971 z8798 thine arrows, 2671 and destroy 2000 z8799 them.

 144:7 Send 7971 z8798 thine hand 3027 from above; 4791 x4480 rid 6475 z8798 me, and deliver 5337 z8685 me out of great 7227 waters, 4325 x4480 from the hand 3027 x4480 of strange 5236 children; 1121

 144:8 Whose x834 mouth 6310 speaketh 1696 z8765 vanity, 7723 and their right hand 3225 [is] a right hand 3225 of falsehood. 8267

 144:9 I will sing 7891 z8799 a new 2319 song 7892 unto thee, O God: 430 upon a psaltery 5035 [and] an instrument of ten strings 6218 will I sing praises 2167 z8762 unto thee.

 144:10 [It is he] that giveth 5414 z8802 salvation 8668 unto kings: 4428 who delivereth 6475 z8802 x853 David 1732 his servant 5650 from the hurtful 7451 sword. 2719 x4480

 144:11 Rid 6475 z8798 me, and deliver 5337 z8685 me from the hand 3027 x4480 of strange 5236 children, 1121 whose x834 mouth 6310 speaketh 1696 z8765 vanity, 7723 and their right hand 3225 [is] a right hand 3225 of falsehood: 8267

 144:12 That x834 our sons 1121 [may be] as plants 5195 grown up 1431 z8794 in their youth; 5271 [that] our daughters 1323 [may be] as corner stones, 2106 polished 2404 z8794 [after] the similitude 8403 of a palace: 1964

 144:13 [That] our garners 4200 [may be] full, 4392 affording 6329 z8688 all manner of store: 2177 x4480 x413 [that] our sheep 6629 may bring forth thousands 503 z8688 and ten thousands 7231 z8794 in our streets: 2351

 144:14 [That] our oxen 441 [may be] strong to labour; 5445 z8794 [that there be] no x369 breaking in, 6556 nor x369 going out; 3318 z8802 that [there be] no x369 complaining 6682 in our streets. 7339

 144:15 Happy 835 [is that] people, 5971 that is in such a case: 3602 x7945 [yea], happy 835 [is that] people, 5971 whose God 430 [is] the LORD. 3068 x7945
