Psalms 144:7-15 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

7. Reach down from above.Pull me out of this sea of enemies.Rescue me from these foreigners.

8. They are liars.They are dishonest.

9. God, I will sing a new song to you.I will play to you on the ten-stringed harp.

10. You give victory to kings.You save your servant David from cruel swords.

11. Save me, rescue me from these foreigners.They are liars.They are dishonest.

12. Let our sons in their youthgrow like strong trees.Let our daughters belike the decorated stones in the Temple.

13. Let our barns be filledwith crops of all kinds.Let our sheep in the fields havethousands and thousands of lambs.

14. Let our cattle be strong.Let no one break in.Let there be no war.Let there be no screams in our streets.

15. Happy are those who are like this.Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.
