Psalms 144

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	EINHEITSUBERSETZUNG BIBEL
1 The Praise of David himself. I will extol you, O God, my king. And I will bless your name, in this time and forever and ever.	1 [Von David] Gelobt sei der Herr, der mein Fels ist, der meine Hände den Kampf gelehrt hat, meine Finger den Krieg.
2 Throughout every single day, I will bless you. And I will praise your name, in this time and forever and ever.	2 Du bist meine Huld und Burg, meine Festung, mein Retter, mein Schild, dem ich vertraue. Er macht mir Völker untertan.
3 The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy. And there is no end to his greatness.	3 Herr, was ist der Mensch, dass du dich um ihn kümmerst, des Menschen Kind, dass du es beachtest?
4 Generation after generation will praise your works, and they will declare your power.	4 Der Mensch gleicht einem Hauch, seine Tage sind wie ein flüchtiger Schatten.
5 They will tell of the magnificent glory of your sanctity. And they will discourse of your wonders.	5 Herr, neig deinen Himmel und steig herab, rühre die Berge an, sodass sie rauchen.
6 And they will talk about the virtue of your terrible acts. And they will describe your greatness.	6 Schleudre Blitze und zerstreue die Feinde, schieß deine Pfeile ab und jag sie dahin!
7 They will shout about the memory of your abundant sweetness. And they will exult in your justice.	7 Streck deine Hände aus der Höhe herab und befreie mich; reiß mich heraus aus gewaltigen Wassern, aus der Hand der Fremden!
8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy.	8 Alles, was ihr Mund sagt, ist Lüge, Meineide schwört ihre Rechte.
9 The Lord is sweet to all things, and his compassion is upon all his works.	9 Ein neues Lied will ich, o Gott, dir singen, auf der zehnsaitigen Harfe will ich dir spielen,
10 O Lord, may all your works confess to you, and let your holy ones bless you.	10 der du den Königen den Sieg verleihst und David, deinen Knecht, errettest. Vor dem bösen Schwert
11 They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and they will declare your power,	11 errette mich, entreiß mich der Hand der Fremden! Alles, was ihr Mund sagt, ist Lüge, Meineide schwört ihre Rechte.
12 so as to make known to the sons of men your power and the glory of your magnificent kingdom.	12 Unsre Söhne seien wie junge Bäume, hoch gewachsen in ihrer Jugend, unsre Töchter wie schlanke Säulen, die geschnitzt sind für den Tempel.
13 Your kingdom is a kingdom for all ages, and your dominion is with all, from generation to generation. The Lord is faithful in all his words and holy in all his works.	13 Unsre Speicher seien gefüllt, überquellend von vielerlei Vorrat; unsre Herden mögen sich tausendfach mehren, vieltausendfach auf unsren Fluren.
14 The Lord lifts up all who have fallen down, and he sets upright all who have been thrown down.	14 Unsre Kühe mögen tragen, ohne zu verwerfen und ohne Unfall; kein Wehgeschrei werde laut auf unsern Straßen.
15 O Lord, all eyes hope in you, and you provide their food in due time.	15 Wohl dem Volk, dem es so ergeht, glücklich das Volk, dessen Gott der Herr ist!
16 You open your hand, and you fill every kind of animal with a blessing.
17 The Lord is just in all his ways and holy in all his works.
18 The Lord is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth.
19 He will do the will of those who fear him, and he will heed their supplication and accomplish their salvation.
20 The Lord watches over all who love him. And he will destroy all sinners.
21 My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and may all flesh bless his holy name, in this time and forever and ever.
