Psalms 144
144
Rescue Me
King David’s poetic song as he stood before Goliath # 144 As translated from the Septuagint. Put yourself in David’s place as he faced a giant named Goliath. Imagine how he felt as you read through this psalm.
1There is only one strong, safe, and secure place for me;
it’s in God alone who gives me strength for the battle.
2He’s my shelter of love and my fortress of faith,
who wraps himself around me as a secure shield.
I hide myself in this one who subdues enemies before me.
3Lord, what is it about us that you would even notice us?
Why do you even bother with us?
4For man is nothing but a faint whisper, a mere breath.
We spend our days like nothing more than a passing shadow.
5Step down from heaven, Lord, and come down!
Make the mountains melt at your touch.
6Loose your fiery lightning flashes and scatter your enemies.
Overthrow them with your terrifying judgments.
7Reach down from your heavens
and rescue me from this hell
and deliver me from these dark powers.
8They speak nothing but lies; their words are pure deceit.
Nothing they say can ever be trusted.
9My God, I will sing you a brand-new song!
The harp inside my heart will make music to you!
10I will sing of you, the one who gives victory to kings—
the one who rescues David, your loving servant,
from the fatal sword.
11Deliver me and save me from these dark powers
who speak nothing but lies.
Their words are pure deceit,
and you can’t trust anything they say.
12Deliver us! Then our homes will be happy.
Our sons will grow up as strong, sturdy men
and our daughters with graceful beauty,
royally fashioned as for a palace.
13-14Our barns will be filled to the brim,
overflowing with the fruits of our harvest.
Our fields will be full of sheep and cattle,
too many to count,
and our livestock will not miscarry their young.
Our enemies will not invade our land,
and there’ll be no breach in our walls.
15What bliss we experience when these blessings fall!
The people who love and serve our God will be happy indeed!

[A Psalm (sacred song about or to God)] of David [Beloved].
1Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] my strength, which teaches my hands to war, [and] my fingers to fight:
2My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and [he] in whom I trust; who subdues my people under me.
3Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], what [is] man, that youi take knowledge of him! [or] the son of man, that youi make account of him!
4Man is like to vanity: his days [are] as a shadow that passes away.
5Bow youi heavens, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out youri arrows, and destroy them.
7Send youri hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
8Whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood.
9I will sing a new song unto youi, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: upon a Psaltery (stringed instrument, like an harp) [and] an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto youi.
10 [It is he] that gives salvation unto kings: who delivers David [Beloved] his servant from the hurtful sword.
11Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood:
12That 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 (providing, yealding (as of crops)) 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.
15Happy [is that] people, that is in such a case: [yea], happy [is that] people, whose God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
