Verses from Psalms, Chapter 144 of the Book of Psalms in the Bible.

• 1. Blessed be the Lord, my Rock, who prepares my hands for battle and my fingers for combat.
• 2. He is my faithful ally, my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer; it is my shield, where I find refuge. He subdues the peoples before me.
• 3. O Lord, what is man that you care for him, or the son of man that you care for him?
• 4. The human being is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow.
• 5. Stretch out your heavens and come down, Lord; touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
• 6. Fires lightning and scatters enemies; shoot your arrows and make them flee.
• 7. Stretch out your hand from above and rescue me; deliver me from the deep waters, from the hands of foreigners,
• 8. who have deceitful mouths and uplifted treacherous hands.
• 9. I will sing to you, O God, a new song; I will play for you a ten-stringed instrument,
• 10. for it is you who gives victory to kings and rescues your servant David from the evil sword.
• 11. Deliver me and deliver me from the hands of foreigners, who have deceitful mouths and treacherous hands raised.
• 12. Then, in our youth, our children will grow like lush plants; our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace.
• 13. Our barns will be filled with all kinds of provisions. Our herds will multiply by thousands, in our fields by tens of thousands;
• 14. our cattle will have healthy calves; there will be no plagues or abortions. No lamentations will be heard in our streets.
• 15. How happy are the people thus blessed! How happy are the people whose God is the Lord!
