Psalm 144
Good News Translation
A King Thanks God for Victory[a]
144 Praise the Lord, my protector!
He trains me for battle
and prepares me for war.
2 He is my protector and defender,
my shelter and savior,
in whom I trust for safety.
He subdues the nations under me.
3 (A)Lord, what are mortals, that you notice them;
mere mortals, that you pay attention to us?
4 We are like a puff of wind;
our days are like a passing shadow.
5 O Lord, tear the sky open and come down;
touch the mountains, and they will pour out smoke.
6 Send flashes of lightning and scatter your enemies;
shoot your arrows and send them running.
7 Reach down from above,
pull me out of the deep water, and rescue me;
save me from the power of foreigners,
8 who never tell the truth
and lie even under oath.
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!

Psalm 144
New King James Version
A Song to the Lord Who Preserves and Prospers His People
A Psalm of David.
144 Blessed be the Lord my Rock,
(A)Who trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle—
2 My lovingkindness and my fortress,
My high tower and my deliverer,
My shield and the One in whom I take refuge,
Who subdues [a]my people under me.
3 (B)Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him?
Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him?
4 (C)Man is like a breath;
(D)His days are like a passing shadow.
5 (E)Bow down Your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
(F)Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6 (G)Flash forth lightning and scatter them;
Shoot out Your arrows and destroy them.
7 Stretch out Your hand from above;
Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters,
From the hand of foreigners,
8 Whose mouth (H)speaks [b]lying words,
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 I will (I)sing a new song to You, O God;
On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
10 The One who gives [c]salvation to kings,
(J)Who delivers David His servant
From the deadly sword.
11 Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners,
Whose mouth speaks lying words,
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood—
12 That our sons may be (K)as plants grown up in their youth;
That our daughters may be as [d]pillars,
Sculptured in palace style;
13 That our barns may be full,
Supplying all kinds of produce;
That our sheep may bring forth thousands
And ten thousands in our fields;
14 That our oxen may be well laden;
That there be no [e]breaking in or going out;
That there be no outcry in our streets.
15 (L)Happy are the people who are in such a state;
Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!

Psalmul 144
Un psalm al lui David
1 Binecuvântat să fie Domnul, Stânca mea,
care-mi(A) deprinde mâinile la luptă,
degetele la bătălie,
2 Binefăcătorul(B) meu şi Cetăţuia mea,
Turnul meu de scăpare şi Izbăvitorul meu,
Scutul meu de adăpost,
care-mi supune pe poporul meu!
3 Doamne(C), ce este omul ca să iei cunoştinţă de el,
fiul omului ca să iei seama la el?
4 Omul(D) este ca o suflare,
zilele(E) lui sunt ca umbra care trece.
5 Pleacă(F) cerurile, Doamne, şi pogoară-Te!
Atinge(G) munţii, ca să fumege!
6 Fulgeră(H) şi risipeşte pe vrăjmaşii mei!
Aruncă-Ţi săgeţile şi pune-i pe fugă!
7 Întinde-Ţi(I) mâinile de sus,
izbăveşte-mă(J) şi scapă-mă din apele cele mari,
din mâna fiilor(K) celui străin,
8 a căror gură spune neadevăruri(L)
şi a căror dreaptă este o dreaptă mincinoasă.
9 Dumnezeule, Îţi voi cânta o cântare(M) nouă,
Te voi lăuda cu alăuta cu zece coarde.
10 Tu, care(N) dai împăraţilor biruinţa,
care ai scăpat de sabie ucigaşă pe robul Tău David,
11 izbăveşte-mă(O) şi scapă-mă din mâna fiilor celui străin,
a căror gură spune neadevăruri
şi a căror dreaptă este o dreaptă mincinoasă!…
12 Fiii noştri sunt ca(P) nişte odrasle, care cresc în tinereţea lor;
fetele noastre, ca nişte stâlpi săpaţi frumos, care fac podoaba caselor împărăteşti.
13 Grânarele noastre sunt pline şi gem de tot felul de merinde;
turmele ni se înmulţesc cu miile, cu zecile de mii, în câmpiile noastre:
14 viţelele noastre sunt prăsitoare;
nu-i nicio pagubă, nicio robie,
niciun ţipăt în uliţele noastre!
15 Ferice(Q) de poporul care stă astfel!
Ferice de poporul al cărui Dumnezeu este Domnul!

Psalm 144
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.
