Psalm 144:11–12

11 deliver me;

rescue me from the hands of foreigners

whose mouths are full of lies,

whose right hands are deceitful.

12 Then our sons in their youth

will be like well-nurtured plants,

and our daughters will be like pillars

carved to adorn a palace.

11 Rescue me and deliver me

from the hand of foreigners,

whose mouths speak lies

and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 May our sons in their youth

be like plants full grown,

our daughters like corner pillars

cut for the structure of a palace;

11 Save me!

Rescue me from the power of my enemies.

Their mouths are full of lies;

they swear to tell the truth, but they lie instead.

12 May our sons flourish in their youth

like well-nurtured plants.

May our daughters be like graceful pillars,

carved to beautify a palace.

11 Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners,

Whose mouth speaks lying words,

And whose 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 pillars,

Sculptured in palace style;

11 Save me, rescue me from these foreigners.

They are liars; they are dishonest.

12 Let our sons in their youth

grow like plants.

Let our daughters be

like the decorated stones in the Temple.

11 Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens,

Whose mouth speaketh deceit,

And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth,

And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;

11 Rescue me, and deliver me from the hand of aliens, 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; our daughters as corner-columns, sculptured after the fashion of a palace:

11 Snatch me, and rescue me from foreigners’ hands. 

Their mouths speak lies. 

Their right hands take false pledges. 

12 May our sons be like full-grown, young plants. 

May our daughters be like stately columns 

that adorn the corners of a palace. 

11 Set me free and rescue me

from the grasp of foreigners

whose mouths speak lies,

whose right hands are deceptive.

12 Then our sons will be like plants

nurtured in their youth,

our daughters, like corner pillars

that are carved in the palace style.

11 Rescue me from the cruel sword,

and deliver me from the hand of aliens,

whose mouths speak lies,

and whose right hands are false.

12 May our sons in their youth

be like plants full grown,

our daughters like corner pillars,

cut for the building of a palace.

11 Rescue me and deliver me

from the hand of foreigners,

whose mouth speaks falsely,

and whose right hand is a false right hand,

12 that our sons may be like plants,

full grown in their youth,

our daughters like corner pillars,

carved in the style of a palace,

11 Save me. Set me free

from strangers who attack me.

They tell all kinds of lies with their mouths.

Even when they make a promise by raising their right hands, they don’t mean it.

12 While our sons are young,

they will be like healthy plants.

Our daughters will be like pillars

that have been made to decorate a palace.

11 Rescue me and deliver me out of the hand of aliens,

Whose mouth speaks deceit

And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 Let our sons in their youth be as grown-up plants,

And our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace;
