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!

Psalm 144
Prayer for Rescue and Prosperity.
A Psalm of David.
1Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
Who trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle;
2My faithfulness and my fortress,
My stronghold and my savior,
My shield and He in whom I take refuge,
Who subdues #144:2 Another reading is peoplesmy people under me.
3Lord, what is man, that You look after him?
Or a son of man, that You think of him?
4Man is like the breath;
His days are like a passing shadow.
5¶Bend down Your heavens, Lord, and come down;
Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
6Flash forth lightning and scatter them;
Send out Your arrows and confuse them.
7Reach out with Your hand from on high;
Rescue me and save me from great waters,
From the hand of foreigners
8Whose mouth speaks deceit,
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9¶God, I will sing a new song to You;
On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
10Who gives salvation to kings,
Who rescues His servant David from the evil sword.
11Rescue me and save me from the hand of foreigners,
Whose mouth speaks deceit
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12¶When our sons in their youth are like growing plants,
And our daughters like corner pillars #144:12 Lit cut after the pattern offashioned for a palace,
13Our granaries are full, providing every kind of produce,
And our flocks deliver thousands and ten thousands in our #144:13 Lit outsidefields;
14 May our cattle #144:14 Lit be ladenbe bred
Without #144:14 Lit breachmishap and without #144:14 Lit going out; i.e., miscarriageloss,
May there be no outcry in our streets!
15Blessed are the people who are so situated;
Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
