TEHILLIM144eng_ojb

1(Mizmor of Dovid)1 Baruch Hashem my Tzur (rock)which teacheth my hands for war,and my fingers for milchamah (battle);2My Chesed, and my Metzudah (Fortress);my Stronghold, and my Deliverer;my Mogen, and He in Whom I take refuge;Who subdueth my people under me.
3Hashem, what is adam, that Thou takest knowledge of him!Or the ben enosh, that Thou takest account of him!4Adam is like hevel;his days are as a tzel that passeth away.
5Part Thy heavens, Hashem, and come down;touch the harim, and they shall smoke.6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them;shoot Thine khitzim (arrows), and destroy them.7Send Thine Yad from above; rescue me,and deliver me out of mayim rabbim,from the yad Bnei Nekhar;8Whose mouth speaketh shav (lies),and their right hand is a right hand of sheker.
9I will sing a shir chadash unto Thee, O Elohim;upon a nevel of ten strings will I make music unto Thee.10It is He that giveth Teshu'ah (deliverance, salvation) unto melachim;Who delivereth Dovid His eved from the cherev ra'ah.11Rescue me, and save mefrom the yad Bnei Nekhar,whose mouth speaketh shav (lies)and their right hand is a right yad of sheker.
12In their youth, may baneinu (our sons) be like plants full grown;may benoteinu (our daughters) be like cornerstones,columns wrought for the Heikhal;13That our barns may be full,affording all manner of provision;that our tzon may bring forth thousandsand ten thousands in our meadows;14That our oxen may be strong to labor;that there be no peretz (breach) nor golus;that there be no cry of anquish in our streets.15Ashrei are such people;Ashrei is the people that Hashem is Elohav.
