Psalms 144
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my Rock, who traineth my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;
1Laudatio ipsi David. [Exaltabo te, Deus meus rex, et benedicam nomini tuo in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.
2My lovingkindness, and my fortress, my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and He in whom I take refuge; who subdueth my people under me.
2Per singulos dies benedicam tibi, et laudabo nomen tuum in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.
3LORD, what is man, that Thou takest knowledge of him? or the son of man, that Thou makest account of him?
3Magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis, et magnitudinis ejus non est finis.
4Man is like unto a breath; his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
4Generatio et generatio laudabit opera tua, et potentiam tuam pronuntiabunt.
5O LORD, bow Thy heavens, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
5Magnificentiam gloriæ sanctitatis tuæ loquentur, et mirabilia tua narrabunt.
6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; send out Thine arrows, and discomfit them.
6Et virtutem terribilium tuorum dicent, et magnitudinem tuam narrabunt.
7Stretch forth Thy hands from on high; rescue me, and deliver me out of many waters, out of the hand of strangers;
7Memoriam abundantiæ suavitatis tuæ eructabunt, et justitia tua exsultabunt.
8Whose mouth speaketh falsehood, and their right hand is a right hand of lying.
8Miserator et misericors Dominus: patiens, et multum misericors.
9O God, I will sing a new song unto Thee, upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto Thee;
9Suavis Dominus universis, et miserationes ejus super omnia opera ejus.
10Who givest salvation unto kings, who rescuest David Thy servant from the hurtful sword.
10Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnia opera tua, et sancti tui benedicant tibi.
11Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of strangers, whose mouth speaketh falsehood, and their right hand is a right hand of lying.
11Gloriam regni tui dicent, et potentiam tuam loquentur:
12We whose sons are as plants grown up in their youth; whose daughters are as corner-pillars carved after the fashion of a palace;
12ut notam faciant filiis hominum potentiam tuam, et gloriam magnificentiæ regni tui.
13Whose garners are full, affording all manner of store; whose sheep increase by thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
13Regnum tuum regnum omnium sæculorum; et dominatio tua in omni generatione et generationem. Fidelis Dominus in omnibus verbis suis, et sanctus in omnibus operibus suis.
14Whose oxen are well laden; with no breach, and no going forth, and no outcry in our broad places;
14Allevat Dominus omnes qui corruunt, et erigit omnes elisos.
15Happy is the people that is in such a case. Yea, happy is the people whose God is the LORD.
15Oculi omnium in te sperant, Domine, et tu das escam illorum in tempore opportuno.
