Psalms 144

ledavid barukh Adonai tsuri hamelammed yaday laqrav etsbe'otay lammilkhamah

Of David. Blessed is GOD, my rock, who trains my hands for battle, my fingers for warfare;

khasdi umetsudati misgabbi umefalti-li maginni uvo khasiti haroded ammi takhtay

my faithful one, my fortress, my haven and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take shelter, who makes peoples subject to me.

Adonai mah-adam vatteda'ehu ben-enosh vattekhashevehu

O ETERNAL One, what are mortals that You should care about them, human beings, that You should think of them?

adam lahevel damah yamayw ketsel over

They are like a breath; their days are like a passing shadow.

Adonai hat-shamekha vetered ga beharim veye'eshanu

O ETERNAL One, bend Your sky and come down; touch the mountains and they will smoke.

beroq baraq utefitsem shelakh khitsekha utehummem

Make lightning flash and scatter them; shoot Your arrows and rout them.

shelakh yadekha mimmarom petseni vehatsileni mimmayim rabbim miyyad bene nekhar

Reach Your hand down from on high; rescue me, save me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners,

asher pihem dibber-shav viminam yemin shaqer

whose mouths speak lies, and whose oaths are false.

elohim shir khadash ashirah lakh benevel asor azammerah-llakh

O God, I will sing You a new song, sing a hymn to You with a ten-stringed harp—

hannoten teshu'ah lammelakhim happotseh et-david avdo mekherev ra'ah

to the One who gives victory to kings, who rescues David—God’s servant—from the deadly sword.

petseni vehatsileni miyyad bene-nekhar asher pihem dibber-shav viminam yemin shaqer

Rescue me, save me from the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak lies, and whose oaths are false.

asher banenu kinti'im meguddalim binurehem benotenu khezaviyyot mekhuttavot tavnit hekhal

For our sons are like saplings, well-tended in their youth; our daughters are like cornerstones trimmed to give shape to a palace.

mezavenu mele'im mefiqim mizzan el-zan tsovnenu ma'alifot merubbavot bekhutsotenu

Our storehouses are full, supplying produce of all kinds; our flocks number thousands, even myriads, in our fields;

allufenu mesubbalim en-perets ve'en yotset ve'en tsevakhah birkhovotenu

our cattle are well cared for. There is no breaching and no sortie, and no wailing in our streets.

ashre ha'am shekkakhah lo ashre ha'am shey-Adonai elohayw

Happy the people who have it so; happy the people whose God is the ETERNAL.
