144
A
Psalm of David.
2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and
he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
3 LORD, what
is man, that thou takest knowledge of him!
or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery
and
an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right
hand
is a right hand of falsehood:
12 That our sons
may be as plants grown up in their youth;
that our daughters
may be as corner stones, polished
after the similitude of a palace:
13 That our garners
may be full, affording all manner of store:
that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
