Psalm 144

<< Psalm 144 >>
New International Version 1984
 

9I will sing a new song to you, O God;

on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,

10to the One who gives victory to kings,

who delivers his servant David from the deadly sword.

11Deliver me and rescue me

from the hands of foreigners

whose mouths are full of lies,

whose right hands are deceitful.

12Then our sons in their youth

will be like well-nurtured plants,

and our daughters will be like pillars

carved to adorn a palace.

13Our barns will be filled

with every kind of provision.

Our sheep will increase by thousands,

by tens of thousands in our fields;

14our oxen will draw heavy loads.b

There will be no breaching of walls,

no going into captivity,

no cry of distress in our streets.

15Blessed are the people of whom this is true;

blessed are the people whose God is the Lord.
