Psalm 144 is the 144th psalm from the Book of Psalms in the Masoretic and modern numbering, corresponding to psalm 143 in the Vulgata Clementina. ==Themes== The text is attributed to David in the Masoretic text. The Septuagint has the additional specification of "David against Goliath", putting the text in the context of the narrative of David's fight against Goliath in 1 Samuel 17. The first verse is rendered in the KJV as "Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight". This translates the Hebrew , where "my strength" renders צורי (lit. "my rock"). But the Septuagint has : putting "my god" where the Hebrew has "my rock/strength". This was the text rendered by the Vulgata Clementina, :''ラテン語:Benedictus Dominus Deus meus, qui docet manus meas ad prælium, et digitos meos ad bellum.'' This Latin translation was the one which was influential in Western Christianity during the Middle Ages. With the development of the ideal of the knighthood in the 12th century, the verse came to be seen as a fitting prayer for the Christian warrior, and references to it are found inscribed on a number of high medieval swords, most notably on the pommel of the Imperial Sword of Otto IV (made c. 1198). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Psalm 144」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
