Psalms 144:6-15

⁶Send flashes of lightning and scatter my enemies; shoot your arrows and drive them back in confusion.

⁷Reach out your hand from above; rescue me out of many waters, from the hand of foreigners.

⁸Their mouths speak lies, and their right hand is falsehood.

⁹I will sing a new song to you, God; on a lute of ten strings I will sing praises to you,

¹⁰who give salvation to kings, who rescued David your servant from an evil sword.

¹¹Rescue me and free me from the hand of foreigners. Their mouths speak lies, and their right hand is falsehood.

¹²May our sons be like plants who grow to full size in their youth and our daughters like carved corner pillars, shapely like those of a palace.

¹³May our storehouses be full with every kind of produce, and may our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields.

¹⁴Then our oxen will have many young. No one will break through our walls; there will be no exile and no outcry in our streets.

¹⁵Blessed is the people with such blessings; happy is the people whose God is Yahweh.
