Psalms 144

¹Blessed be Jehovah my rock,

²My lovingkindness, and my fortress,

³Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him?

⁴Man is like to vanity:

⁵Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down:

⁶Cast forth lightning, and scatter them;

⁷Stretch forth thy hand from above;

⁸Whose mouth speaketh deceit,

⁹I will sing a new song unto thee, O God:

¹⁰Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings;

¹¹Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens,

¹²When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth,

¹³When our garners are full, affording all manner of store,

¹⁴When our oxen are well laden;

¹⁵Happy is the people that is in such a case;
