Psalms 144:5

Compare all

3 ^aLord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him?
Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him?

4 ^aMan is like a breath;
^bHis days are like a passing shadow.

5 ^aBow down Your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
^bTouch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

6 ^aFlash forth lightning and scatter them;
Shoot out Your arrows and destroy them.

7 Stretch out Your hand from above;
Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters,
From the hand of foreigners,

8 Whose mouth ^aspeaks lying words,
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9 I will ^asing a new song to You, O God;
On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,

10 The One who gives¹ salvation to kings,
^aWho delivers David His servant
From the deadly sword.

11 Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners,
Whose mouth speaks lying words,
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood—

12 That our sons may be ^aas plants grown up in their youth;
That our daughters may be as¹ pillars,
Sculptured in palace style;

13 That our barns may be full,
Supplying all kinds of produce;
That our sheep may bring forth thousands
And ten thousands in our fields;

14 That our oxen may be well laden;
That there be no¹ breaking in or going out;
That there be no outcry in our streets.

15 ^aHappy are the people who are in such a state;
Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!
