Psalm 144D: Psalm 144:9-15
Lischer, 66.66.888. [D]
| 5. |
9 O God, in praise to you,
A new song I will sing.
Upon a ten-stringed harp
Your praises I will play.
10 For He salvation gives to kings;
His servant David He will help
And keep him from the wasting sword.
|
| 6. |
11 O rescue me and save,
Grant me deliverance,
From hands of alien folk,
From power of foreigners,
Whose mouth speaks always what is false,
And even the right hand of whom
Is a right hand of cunning lands.
|
| 7. |
12 So be our sons like plants
Grown sturdy in their youth,
And may our daughters be
Like palace cornerstones;
13 All kinds of goods fill up our barns;
Our flocks of sheep be multiplied
By thousands and ten thousands more;
|
| 8. |
14 Yes, may our cattle bear.
May there be no attacks,
No going forth to war,
No outcry in our streets.
15 O happy people who are thus!
O happy people who can say
They have the LORD to be their God!
