Amplified Bible

Psalm 144:6-15 Amplified Bible (AMP)

6. Cast forth lightning and scatter [my enemies]; send out Your arrows and embarrass and frustrate them.

7. Stretch forth Your hand from above; rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, from the hands of hostile aliens (tribes around us)

8. Whose mouths speak deceit and whose right hands are right hands [raised in taking] fraudulent oaths.

9. I will sing a new song to You, O God; upon a harp, an instrument of ten strings, will I offer praises to You.

10. You are He Who gives salvation to kings, Who rescues David His servant from the hurtful sword [of evil].

11. Rescue me and deliver me out of the power of [hostile] alien [tribes] whose mouths speak deceit and whose right hands are right hands [raised in taking] fraudulent oaths.

12. When our sons shall be as plants grown large in their youth and our daughters as sculptured corner pillars hewn like those of a palace;

13. When our garners are full, affording all manner of store, and our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our pastures;

14. When our oxen are well loaded; when there is no invasion [of hostile armies] and no going forth [against besiegers–when there is no murder or manslaughter] and no outcry in our streets;

15. Happy and blessed are the people who are in such a case; yes, happy (blessed, fortunate, prosperous, to be envied) are the people whose God is the Lord!
