I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee (144:9) It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword (144:10) Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood (144:11) That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace (144:12) That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets (144:13) That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets (144:14) Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord
(144:15)
