Psalm 144  Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

³ Lord, what is a human that you care for him,
a son of man^[b] that you think of him?^(F)
4 A human is like a breath;
his days are like a passing shadow.^(G)

⁵ Lord, part your heavens and come down.^(H)
Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.^(I)
6 Flash your lightning and scatter the foe;^[c]
shoot your arrows and rout them.^(J)
7 Reach down^[d] from on high;^(K)
rescue me from deep water, and set me free
from the grasp of foreigners^(L)
8 whose mouths speak lies,
whose right hands are deceptive.^(M)

⁹ God, I will sing a new song to you;
I will play on a ten-stringed harp for you^(N) –
¹⁰ the one who gives victory to kings,
who frees his servant David
from the deadly sword.^(O)
11 Set me free and rescue me
from foreigners^(P)
whose mouths speak lies,
whose right hands are deceptive.^(Q)

¹² Then our sons will be like plants
nurtured in their youth,
our daughters, like corner pillars
that are carved in the palace style.^(R)
13 Our storehouses will be full,
supplying all kinds of produce;^(S)
our flocks will increase by thousands
and tens of thousands in our open fields.^(T)
14 Our cattle will be well fed.^[e]
There will be no breach in the walls,
no going into captivity,^[f]
and no cry of lament in our public squares.^(U)
15 Happy are the people with such blessings.
Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.^(V)
