Psalm 144:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 You give victory to kings;
you delivered David your servant.(A)
From the menacing sword 11 deliver me;
rescue me from the hands of foreign foes.
Their mouths speak untruth;
their right hands are raised in lying oaths.
III
12 May our sons be like plants(B)
well nurtured from their youth,
Our daughters, like carved columns,
shapely as those of the temple.
