CHAP. CXLIV.
1 Dauid blesseth God for his mercie both to him and to man. 5 Hee prayeth that God would powerfully deliuer him from his enemies. 9 He promiseth to praise God. 11 Hee prayeth for the happy state of the kingdome.
1[A Psalme of Dauid.] Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to warre, and my fingers to fight.1
2My goodnes and my fortresse, my high tower and my deliuerer, my shield, and he in whome I trust: who subdueth my people vnder me.2
3Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? or the sonne of man, that thou makest account of him?3
4Man is like to vanity: his dayes are as a shadow that passeth away.4
5Bow thy heauens, O Lord, and come downe: touch the mountaines, and they shall smoke.
6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoote out thine arrowes, and destroy them.6
7Send thine hand from aboue, rid me, and deliuer me out of great waters: from the hand of strange children,7
8Whose mouth speaketh vanitie: and their right hand is a right hand of falshood.
10It is he that giueth saluation vnto kings: who deliuereth Dauid his seruant from the hurtfull sword.10
12That our sonnes may be as plants growen vp in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:12
13That our garners may bee full, affoording all maner of store; that our sheepe may bring forth thousands, and tenne thousands in our streetes.13
14That our oxen may be strong to labour, that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streetes.14
15Happy is that people that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.15
