Psalm 144:9-15

Good News Translation

⁹ I will sing you a new song, O God;
    I will play the harp and sing to you.
¹⁰ You give victory to kings
    and rescue your servant David.
¹¹ Save me from my cruel enemies;
    rescue me from the power of foreigners,
    who never tell the truth
    and lie even under oath.

¹² May our sons in their youth
    be like plants that grow up strong.
May our daughters be like stately columns
    which adorn the corners of a palace.
¹³ May our barns be filled
    with crops of every kind.
May the sheep in our fields
    bear young by the tens of thousands.
¹⁴ May our cattle reproduce plentifully
    without miscarriage or loss.
May there be no cries of distress in our streets.

¹⁵ Happy is the nation of whom this is true;
    happy are the people whose God is the Lord!
