Psalm 144:9-15
New International Version
9 I will sing a new song(A) to you, my God;
on the ten-stringed lyre(B) I will make music to you,
10 to the One who gives victory to kings,(C)
who delivers his servant David.(D)
From the deadly sword(E) 11 deliver me;
rescue me(F) from the hands of foreigners(G)
whose mouths are full of lies,(H)
whose right hands are deceitful.(I)
12 Then our sons in their youth
will be like well-nurtured plants,(J)
and our daughters will be like pillars(K)
carved to adorn a palace.
13 Our barns will be filled(L)
with every kind of provision.
Our sheep will increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields;
14 our oxen(M) will draw heavy loads.[a]
There will be no breaching of walls,(N)
no going into captivity,
no cry of distress in our streets.(O)
15 Blessed is the people(P) of whom this is true;
blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.

Psalm 144:9-15
King James Version
9 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.
10 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11 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:
12 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:
13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
14 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.
15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
