Psalm 144:9–15

9 I will sing a new songg to you, my God;

on the ten-stringed lyreh I will make music to you,

10 to the One who gives victory to kings,i

who delivers his servant David.j

From the deadly swordk 11 deliver me;

rescue mel from the hands of foreignersm

whose mouths are full of lies,n

whose right hands are deceitful.o

12 Then our sons in their youth

will be like well-nurtured plants,p

and our daughters will be like pillarsq

carved to adorn a palace.

13 Our barns will be filledr

with every kind of provision.

Our sheep will increase by thousands,

by tens of thousands in our fields;

14 our oxens will draw heavy loads.b

There will be no breaching of walls,t

no going into captivity,

no cry of distress in our streets.u

15 Blessed is the peoplev of whom this is true;

blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.
