Psalms 144

   |   

Prayer for Rescue and Prosperity.

A Psalm of David.

1 Blessed be the LORD, (C1)my rock,
Who (C2)trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle;

2 My faithfulness and (C1)my fortress,
My (C2)stronghold and my savior,
My (C3)shield and He in whom I take refuge,
Who (C4)subdues (F1)my people under me.

3 LORD, (C1)what is man, that You look after him?
Or a son of man, that You think of him?

4 (C1)Man is like the breath;
His (C2)days are like a passing shadow.

5 (C1)Bend down Your heavens, LORD, and (C2)come down;
(C3)Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

6 Flash forth (C1)lightning and scatter them;
Send out Your (C2)arrows and confuse them.

7 Reach out with Your hand (C1)from on high;
Rescue me and (C2)save me from great waters,
From the hand of (C3)foreigners

8 Whose mouth (C1)speaks deceit,
And whose (C2)right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9 God, I will sing a (C1)new song to You;
On a (C2)harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,

10 Who (C1)gives salvation to kings,
Who (C2)rescues His servant David from the evil sword.

11 Rescue me and save me from the hand of (C1)foreigners,
Whose mouth (C2)speaks deceit
And whose (C3)right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 When our sons in their youth are like (C1)growing plants,
And our daughters like (C2)corner pillars (F1)fashioned for a palace,

13 Our (C1)granaries are full, providing every kind of produce,
And our flocks deliver thousands and ten thousands in our (F1)fields;

14 May our (C1)cattle (F1)be bred
Without (F2)(C2)mishap and without (F3)(C3)loss,
May there be no (C4)outcry in our streets!

15 Blessed are the people who are so situated;
(C1)Blessed are the people whose God is the LORD!
