144 De David. Béni soit l'Éternel, mon rocher, Qui exerce mes mains au combat, Mes doigts à la bataille,
2 Mon bienfaiteur et ma forteresse, Ma haute retraite et mon libérateur, Mon bouclier, celui qui est mon refuge, Qui m'assujettit mon peuple!
3 Éternel, qu'est-ce que l'homme, pour que tu le connaisses? Le fils de l'homme, pour que tu prennes garde à lui?
4 L'homme est semblable à un souffle, Ses jours sont comme l'ombre qui passe.
5 Éternel, abaisse tes cieux, et descends! Touche les montagnes, et qu'elles soient fumantes!
6 Fais briller les éclairs, et disperse mes ennemis! Lance tes flèches, et mets-les en déroute!
7 Étends tes mains d'en haut; Délivre-moi et sauve-moi des grandes eaux, De la main des fils de l'étranger,
8 Dont la bouche profère la fausseté, Et dont la droite est une droite mensongère.
9 O Dieu! je te chanterai un cantique nouveau, Je te célébrerai sur le luth à dix cordes.
10 Toi, qui donnes le salut aux rois, Qui sauvas du glaive meurtrier David, ton serviteur,
11 Délivre-moi et sauve-moi de la main des fils de l'étranger, Dont la bouche profère la fausseté, Et dont la droite est une droite mensongère!...
12 Nos fils sont comme des plantes Qui croissent dans leur jeunesse; Nos filles comme les colonnes sculptées Qui font l'ornement des palais.
13 Nos greniers sont pleins, Regorgeant de tout espèce de provisions; Nos troupeaux se multiplient par milliers, par dix milliers, Dans nos campagnes;
14 Nos génisses sont fécondes; Point de désastre, point de captivité, Point de cris dans nos rues!
15 Heureux le peuple pour qui il en est ainsi! Heureux le peuple dont l'Éternel est le Dieu!

Psalm 144
Prayer for National Deliverance and Security
Of David.
1 Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle,(A)
2 my rock[a] and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge,
who subdues the peoples[b] under me.(B)
3 O Lord, what are humans that you regard them,
or mortals that you think of them?(C)
4 They are like a breath;
their days are like a passing shadow.(D)
5 Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
touch the mountains so that they smoke.(E)
6 Make the lightning flash and scatter them;
send out your arrows and rout them.(F)
7 Stretch out your hand from on high;
set me free and rescue me from the mighty waters,
from the hand of foreigners,(G)
8 whose mouths speak lies
and whose right hands are false.(H)
9 I will sing a new song to you, O God;
upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,(I)
10 the one who gives victory to kings,
who rescues his servant David.(J)
11 Rescue me from the cruel sword,
and deliver me from the hand of aliens,
whose mouths speak lies,
and whose right hands are false.(K)
12 May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars,
cut for the building of a palace.(L)
13 May our barns be filled
with produce of every kind;
may our sheep increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields,
14 and may our cattle be heavy with young.
May there be no breach in the walls,[c] no exile,
and no cry of distress in our streets.
15 Happy are the people to whom such blessings fall;
happy are the people whose God is the Lord.(M)

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.
