Psalm 144:9-14

Common English Bible

⁹ I will sing a new song to you, God.
    I will sing praises to you on a ten-stringed harp,
¹⁰         to you—the one who gives saving help to rulers,
        and who rescues his servant David from the evil sword.
¹¹ Rescue me and deliver me from the power of strangers,
        whose mouths speak lies,
        and whose strong hand is a strong hand of deception,
¹²     so that^[a] our sons can grow up fully, in their youth, like plants;
    so that our daughters can be like pillars carved to decorate a palace;
¹³     so that our barns can be full, providing all kinds of food;
    so that our flocks can be in the thousands—
        even tens of thousands—in our fields;
¹⁴     so that our cattle can be loaded with calves;
    so that there won’t be any breach in the walls,
    no exile, no outcries in our streets!
