Psalm 144
King James Bible: Purple Letter EditionERP 
A Psalm of David.

1Blessed be the LORD, my strength, Who teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight; 2My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and He in Whom I trust; Who subdueth my people under me. 3LORD, what is man, that Thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that Thou makest account of him? 4Man is like to vanity; his days are as a shadow that passeth away. 5Bow Thy heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. 6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; shoot out Thine arrows, and destroy them. 7Send Thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of aliens {strange children}, 8Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 9I will sing a new song unto Thee, O God; upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto Thee. 10It is He Who giveth salvation unto kings; Who delivereth David, His servant from the hurtful sword. 11Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of aliens {strange children}, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood,

12That our sons may be like {as} plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as cornerstones, polished after the similitude of a palace; 13That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store; that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets; 14That our oxen may be strong to labor; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets. 15Happy is that people, that is in such a case; yea , happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
