Chapter 143

1


 

  Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.  

 

 


2


 

  My mercy, and my refuge: my support, and my deliverer: My protector, and I have hoped in him: who subdueth my people under me.  

 

 


3


 

  Lord, what is man, that thou art made known to him? or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?  

 

 


4


 

  Man is like to vanity: his days pass away like a shadow.  

 

 


5


 

  Lord, bow down thy heavens and descend: touch the mountains and they shall smoke.  

 

 


6


 

  Send forth lightning, and thou shalt scatter them: shoot out thy arrows, and thou shalt trouble them.  

 

 


7


 

  Put forth thy hand from on high, take me out, and deliver me from many waters: from the hand of strange children:  

 

 


8


 

  Whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.  

 

 


9


 

  To thee, O God, I will sing a new canticle: on the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises to thee.  

 

 


10


 

  Who givest salvation to kings: who hast redeemed thy servant David from the malicious sword:  

 

 


11


 

  Deliver me, And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity:  

 

 


12


 

  Whose sons are as new plants in their youth: Their daughters decked out, adorned round about after the similitude of a temple:  

 

 


13


 

  Their storehouses full, flowing out of this into that. Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings forth:  

 

 


14


 

  their oxen fat. There is no breach of wall, nor passage, nor crying out in their streets.  

 

 


15


 

  They have called the people happy, that hath these things: but happy is that people whose God is the Lord.
