Tehillim 144

1. (Mizmor of Dovid). Baruch Hashem my Tzur (rock) which teacheth my hands for war, and my fingers for milchamah (battle);

2. My Chesed, and my Metzudah (Fortress); my Stronghold, and my Deliverer; my Mogen, and He in Whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me.

3. Hashem, what is adam, that Thou takest knowledge of him! Or the ben enosh, that Thou takest account of him!

4. Adam is like hevel; his days are as a tzel that passeth away.

5. Part Thy heavens, Hashem, and come down; touch the harim, and they shall smoke.

6. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; shoot Thine khitzim (arrows), and destroy them.

7. Send Thine Yad from above; rescue me, and deliver me out of mayim rabbim, from the yad Bnei Nekhar;

8. Whose mouth speaketh shav (lies), and their right hand is a right hand of sheker.

9. I will sing a shir chadash unto Thee, O Elohim; upon a nevel of ten strings will I make music unto Thee.

10. It is He that giveth Teshu’ah (deliverance, salvation) unto melachim; Who delivereth Dovid His eved from the cherev ra’ah.

11. Rescue me, and save me from the yad Bnei Nekhar, whose mouth speaketh shav (lies) and their right hand is a right yad of sheker;

12. In their youth, may baneinu (our sons) be like plants full grown; may benoteinu (our daughters) be like cornerstones, columns wrought for the Heikhal;

13. That our barns may be full, affording all manner of provision; that our tzon may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our meadows;

14. That our oxen may be strong to labor; that there be no peretz (breach) nor golus; that there be no cry of anquish in our streets.

15. Ashrei are such people; Ashrei is the people that Hashem is Elohav.
