God is SHE/God is THEY Psalms

Psalm 144

Of David.
1. Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2. My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and They in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
3. Lord, what is humanity, that thou takest knowledge of them! or the daughter of humanity, that thou makest account of them!
4. Humanity is like to vanity: their days are as a shadow that passeth away.
5. Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
7. Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
8. Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
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 They that give salvation unto rulers: who delivereth David Their 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 children may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our children 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.
