King James Bible |
Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 144:1 | Blessed be the LORD |
By David. Blessed `is' Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle. |
| 144:2 | My kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my people under me! | |
| 144:3 | LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! | Jehovah, what `is' man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him? |
| 144:4 | Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. | Man to vanity hath been like, His days `are' as a shadow passing by. |
| 144:5 | Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. | Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke. |
| 144:6 | Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. | Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them, |
| 144:7 | Send thine |
Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger, |
| 144:8 | Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. | Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand `is' a right hand of falsehood. |
| 144:9 | I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. | O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee. |
| 144:10 | It is he that giveth |
Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil. |
| 144:11 | Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: | Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand `is' a right hand of falsehood, |
| 144:12 | That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, |
Because our sons `are' as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished -- the likeness of a palace, |
| 144:13 | That our garners may be full, affording |
Our garners `are' full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places, |
| 144:14 | That our oxen may be |
Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places. |
| 144:15 | Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. | O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the happiness of the people whose God `is' Jehovah! |
