Inno per la guerra e la vittoria
144 Di Davide.
Benedetto il Signore, mia roccia,
che addestra le mie mani alla guerra,
le mie dita alla battaglia.
2 Mia grazia e mia fortezza,
mio rifugio e mia liberazione,
mio scudo in cui confido,
colui che mi assoggetta i popoli.
3 Signore, che cos'è un uomo perché te ne curi?
Un figlio d'uomo perché te ne dia pensiero?
4 L'uomo è come un soffio,
i suoi giorni come ombra che passa.
5 Signore, piega il tuo cielo e scendi,
tocca i monti ed essi fumeranno.
6 Le tue folgori disperdano i nemici,
lancia frecce, sconvolgili.
7 Stendi dall'alto la tua mano,
scampami e salvami dalle grandi acque,
dalla mano degli stranieri.
8 La loro bocca dice menzogne
e alzando la destra giurano il falso.
9 Mio Dio, ti canterò un canto nuovo,
suonerò per te sull'arpa a dieci corde;
10 a te, che dai vittoria al tuo consacrato,
che liberi Davide tuo servo.
Salvami dalla spada iniqua,
11 liberami dalla mano degli stranieri;
la loro bocca dice menzogne
e la loro destra giura il falso.
12 I nostri figli siano come piante
cresciute nella loro giovinezza;
le nostre figlie come colonne d'angolo
nella costruzione del tempio.
13 I nostri granai siano pieni,
trabocchino di frutti d'ogni specie;
siano a migliaia i nostri greggi,
a mirìadi nelle nostre campagne;
14 siano carichi i nostri buoi.
Nessuna breccia, nessuna incursione,
nessun gemito nelle nostre piazze.
15 Beato il popolo che possiede questi beni:
beato il popolo il cui Dio è il Signore.

My Rock and My Fortress
Of David.
144 Blessed be the Lord, my (A)rock,
(B)who trains my hands for war,
and my fingers for battle;
2 he is my (C)steadfast love and my (D)fortress,
my (E)stronghold and my deliverer,
my (F)shield and he in whom I take refuge,
who (G)subdues peoples[a] under me.
3 O Lord, (H)what is man that you (I)regard him,
or the son of man that you think of him?
4 (J)Man is like a breath;
his days are like (K)a passing (L)shadow.
5 (M)Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down!
(N)Touch the mountains so that they smoke!
6 (O)Flash forth the lightning and scatter them;
(P)send out your arrows and rout them!
7 (Q)Stretch out your hand from on high;
(R)rescue me and deliver me from the many waters,
from the hand (S)of foreigners,
8 whose mouths speak (T)lies
and whose right hand is (U)a right hand of falsehood.
9 I will sing (V)a new song to you, O God;
upon (W)a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,
10 who gives victory to kings,
who (X)rescues David his servant from the cruel sword.
11 Rescue me and deliver me
from the hand (Y)of foreigners,
whose mouths speak (Z)lies
and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12 May our sons in their youth
be like (AA)plants full grown,
our daughters like (AB)corner pillars
cut for the structure of a palace;
13 (AC)may our granaries be full,
(AD)providing all kinds of produce;
may our sheep bring forth thousands
and ten thousands in our fields;
14 may our cattle be heavy with young,
suffering no mishap or failure in bearing;[b]
may there be no (AE)cry of distress in our streets!
15 (AF)Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall!
(AG)Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!

Of David.
1 Praise be to the Lord my Rock,(A)
who trains my hands for war,
my fingers for battle.
2 He is my loving God and my fortress,(B)
my stronghold(C) and my deliverer,
my shield,(D) in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples[a](E) under me.
3 Lord, what are human beings(F) that you care for them,
mere mortals that you think of them?
4 They are like a breath;(G)
their days are like a fleeting shadow.(H)
5 Part your heavens,(I) Lord, and come down;(J)
touch the mountains, so that they smoke.(K)
6 Send forth lightning(L) and scatter(M) the enemy;
shoot your arrows(N) and rout them.
7 Reach down your hand from on high;(O)
deliver me and rescue me(P)
from the mighty waters,(Q)
from the hands of foreigners(R)
8 whose mouths are full of lies,(S)
whose right hands(T) are deceitful.(U)
9 I will sing a new song(V) to you, my God;
on the ten-stringed lyre(W) I will make music to you,
10 to the One who gives victory to kings,(X)
who delivers his servant David.(Y)
From the deadly sword(Z) 11 deliver me;
rescue me(AA) from the hands of foreigners(AB)
whose mouths are full of lies,(AC)
whose right hands are deceitful.(AD)
12 Then our sons in their youth
will be like well-nurtured plants,(AE)
and our daughters will be like pillars(AF)
carved to adorn a palace.
13 Our barns will be filled(AG)
with every kind of provision.
Our sheep will increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields;
14 our oxen(AH) will draw heavy loads.[b]
There will be no breaching of walls,(AI)
no going into captivity,
no cry of distress in our streets.(AJ)
15 Blessed is the people(AK) of whom this is true;
blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.
