Psalm 144:1-8
Psalm 144
A psalm of David.
Give praise to the Lord, my Rock.
He trains my hands for war.
He trains my fingers for battle.
He is my loving God and is like a fort to me.
He is my place of safety and the God who saves me.
He is like a shield that keeps me safe.
He brings nations under my control.
Lord, what are human beings that you take care of them?
What are mere people that you think about them?
Their lives don’t last any longer than a breath.
Their days are like a shadow that quickly disappears.
Lord, open up your heavens and come down.
Touch the mountains, and they will pour out smoke.
Send flashes of lightning and scatter my enemies.
Shoot your arrows and chase them away.
My enemies are like a mighty flood.
Reach down from heaven and save me.
Save me from outsiders who attack me.
They tell all kinds of lies with their mouths.
Even when they make a promise by raising their right hands, they don’t mean it.
