Psalm 144

¹Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
²My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
³Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
⁴Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
⁵Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
⁶Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
⁷Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
⁸Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
⁹I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
¹⁰It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
¹¹Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
¹²That 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:
¹³That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
¹⁴That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
¹⁵Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.

¹⁸For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
¹⁹And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
²⁰And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
²¹And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord.
²²For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.
²³And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.

5Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
²By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
³For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
⁴For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
⁵Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
⁶This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
⁷For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
⁸And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
⁹If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
¹⁰He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
¹¹And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
¹²He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
¹³These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
¹⁴And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
¹⁵And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
¹⁶If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
¹⁷All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
¹⁸We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
¹⁹And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
²⁰And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
²¹Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
