Psalms 144
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
1 Ref Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, `And' my fingers to fight:
2 Ref My lovingkindness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and he in whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me.
3 Ref Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
4 Ref Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.
5 Ref Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6 Ref Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.
7 Ref Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens;
8 Ref Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 Ref I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10 Ref Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11 Ref Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12 Ref When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;
13 Ref `When' our garners are full, affording all manner of store, `And' our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
14 Ref `When' our oxen are well laden; `When there is' no breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets:
15 Ref Happy is the people that is in such a case; `Yea', happy is the people whose God is Jehovah. Psalm 145 `A' `Psalm' `of' praise; of David.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

4 Ref Man to vanity hath been like, His days `are' as a shadow passing by.
5 Ref Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.
6 Ref Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine arrows, and trouble them,
7 Ref Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,
8 Ref Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand `is' a right hand of falsehood.
9 Ref O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten strings I sing praise to Thee.
10 Ref Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil.
11 Ref 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,
12 Ref Because our sons `are' as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished -- the likeness of a palace,
13 Ref Our garners `are' full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places,
14 Ref Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.
15 Ref O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the happiness of the people whose God `is' Jehovah!
