Psalms 144:1-6

144:1

<
<[A Psalm] of David <01732>.>>

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>

my strength
<06697>_,

which teacheth
<03925> (8764)

my hands
<03027>

to war
<07128>_,

[and] my fingers
<0676>

to fight
<04421>_:

{strength: Heb. rock} {to war...: Heb. to the war, etc}

144:2

My goodness
<02617>_,

and my fortress
<04686>_;

my high tower
<04869>_,

and my deliverer
<06403> (8764)_;

my shield
<04043>_,

and [he] in whom I trust
<02620> (8804)_;

who subdueth
<07286> (8802)

my people
<05971>

under me. {My goodness: or, My mercy}

144:3

LORD
<03068>_,

what [is] man
<0120>_,

that thou takest knowledge
<03045> (8799)

of him! [or] the son
<01121>

of man
<0582>_,

that thou makest account
<02803> (8762)

of him!

144:4

Man
<0120>

is like
<01819> (8804)

to vanity
<01892>_:

his days
<03117>

[are] as a shadow
<06738>

that passeth away
<05674> (8802)_.

144:5

Bow
<05186> (8685)

thy heavens
<08064>_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

and come down
<03381> (8799)_:

touch
<05060> (8798)

the mountains
<02022>_,

and they shall smoke
<06225> (8799)_.

144:6

Cast forth
<01299> (8798)

lightning
<01300>_,

and scatter
<06327> (8686)

them: shoot out
<07971> (8798)

thine arrows
<02671>_,

and destroy
<02000> (8799)

them.
